Fort Frances is benefiting from the presence of the Northern Ontario School of Medicine.
The school's board of directors was in the community last week for its monthly meeting.
Dean Dr. Roger Strasser says Fort Frances is getting positive reviews from students who are doing part of their studies here.
Strasser says that can help in attracting the same students back to the community when they complete their studies.
Strasser says the community may soon see a graduate in the near future here to set up a practice.
