HSN’s Medical Staff are required to pursue faculty appointment and teach undergraduate and postgraduate trainees at the Northern Ontario School of Medicine (NOSM). Currently, 78% of HSN’s active Medical Staff members are faculty at NOSM.   

HSN’s Simulation Laboratory is enhancing the skills of health care providers in Northern Ontario through collaborative, high-quality, innovative, multi-disciplinary, simulation-based education. The Sim Lab was established in 2012 and welcomes nearly 2,000 learners each year.

There is also an opportunity to lead and participate in research through the Health Sciences North Research Institute (HSNRI). The Institute's objective is to target Northern health priorities.
