The Northern Ontario Resident Streamlined Training and Reimbursement Program (NORSTAR) supports increased access to Northern Ontario learning experiences for medical residents and fellows from Canadian medical schools, while also enabling immediate and longer-term physician support to communities in the North East and North West Ontario Health Regions.
The NORSTAR program contains three streams and will be piloted for three years (ending March 31, 2026) and evaluated.
Residents, fellows, and/or faculty physicians participating in any of the three NORSTAR streams must be licensed with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO) and ensure compliance with relevant hospital credentialing requirements.
