Medical School Benefits

A study shows the Northern Ontario School of Medicine is providing big economic and social boosts to the region.

The study, commissioned by the school, shows about $37-million is spent by the school and its medical students annually.

And recirculation of the funds generates up to $82-million in communities which are involved in NOSM programs.

Sudbury and Thunder Bay get most of the money but Kenora and Fort Frances also benefit.
