STRENGTHEN NOSM UNIVERSITY’S FOUNDATIONS TO ENABLE GROWTH

NOSM University is committed to pursuing stable, long- term growth to enable us to deliver on our mission. Over the next five years, we will explore the optimal academic and administrative models to support this growth. We will also ensure our foundations—our buildings, technologies, systems, and people—are secure and adaptable to the needs of the University, and aligned to our commitments to Indigenous, Francophone, and rural interest holders.

OUR STRATEGIC INITIATIVES

  • Update and modernize academic and administrative models to support new growth.

  • Stabilize capital infrastructure.

  • Continue to optimize the way we do things to increase our effectiveness and improve employee satisfaction and retention.

  • Build leadership and staff capacity and capability, supported by succession planning and mentorship.

OUR VIEW OF SUCCESS IN 5 YEARS

NOSM University will have expanded its physical footprint with long-term, safe, and sustainable facilities. Administrative and academic systems will be streamlined and scalable, supporting new programs and increased enrolment. The University will demonstrate strong internal capacity, with high retention and engagement among staff and faculty, and readiness to meet future demands.
