STRATEGIC PILLAR 2

BUILD SECTOR-LEADING PARTNERSHIPS WITH COMMUNITY, EDUCATION, AND HEALTH PARTNERS

NOSM University is building strong, collaborative relationships with education, health, and community partners. Through shared initiatives and coordinated engagement, we are unlocking new opportunities in education, research, and health, together shaping a healthier, more connected North.

OUR STRATEGIC INITIATIVES

  • Enhance strategic alignment with health system partners.

  • Build academic offerings in collaboration with peer universities, colleges, and Indigenous educational institutes.

  • Strengthen partnerships with Indigenous, Francophone, and rural communities.

  • Collaborate with municipalities, First Nations, and communities on policy, sustainable operations, and funding opportunities.

OUR VIEW OF SUCCESS IN 5 YEARS

NOSM University will be recognized as a convener and collaborator across the North. These partnerships will result in shared programs, community-centred care and service, and joint advocacy efforts that amplify NOSM University’s impact and reduce duplication across the sector.

NOSM University Students learn from participating in different learning experiences.

HOW WE WILL MEASURE OUR SUCCESS

  • In year one, support three Academic Health Sciences Network North (AHSNN) project collaborations.

  • Co-develop two program plans with educational partners over the next five years.

  • Successful launch of the Circle for Indigenous Health Research and Innovation, within five years.

  • Increase new coordinated advocacy initiatives by at least one site per year, for each of the next five years.
