Volunteers and campers encouraged to apply early

Applications for NOSM University’s 20th annual CampMed are open. This immersive summer program provides high school students in Northern Ontario and other rural and remote communities with a unique opportunity to explore medicine and health sciences through hands-on learning and mentorship. The program aims to inspire the next generation of health-care professionals, particularly those from underserved regions.

CampMed has welcomed more than 1,139 campers from 166 different communities to participate in unique learning experiences, including those related to Indigenous and Francophone culture, health traditions, hands-on and simulation-based learning, and mentorship opportunities.

Taking place in Sudbury from July 7-11, 2025, and in Thunder Bay from July 14-18, 2025, NOSM University is seeking enthusiastic volunteers to help run CampMed and high school students who are interested in participating as campers.
