There are 17 medical schools in Canada, of which Northern Ontario School of Medicine is number 17. It is the only new medical school established in Canada in over 30 years. That said, there has been expansion in medical school class size in every province, and in many cases satellite campuses have been established.
You mentioned British Columbia; they were just a year ahead of us, actually. They established a collaboration between UBC and UNBC--the University of Northern British Columbia in Prince George--and also the University of Victoria, so the students there are UBC students doing the UBC curriculum, but almost all of their four years of education take place in northern B.C. or on Vancouver Island.
There have been similar developments in Quebec. An example is the Université de Sherbrooke, which collaborates with the Université du Québec in Chicoutimi. Across in New Brunswick there's Moncton, and there are other Quebec schools. There's Trois-Rivières with the Université de Montréal, and so on. It's a pattern across the country for established medical schools to put satellite campuses in place in rural regional areas. The program the students follow is identical to, or very close to, the program in the urban area.
The Northern Ontario School of Medicine is the only new school established in a rural area with a program curriculum that is really designed in and for the rural setting.
