ROMP has been helping medical students and residents in Ontario arrange core and elective medical rotations since 1988.
There is a need for physicians in every area of the world, particularly in rural locations. With the Rural Ontario Medical Program (ROMP), we are here to ease the burdens caused by the nation-wide physician distribution problem by arranging core and elective medical rotations for medical students in Ontario.
About Rural Ontario Medical Program
While qualified physicians are needed all across the world, the nation-wide physician distribution issue is especially marked in rural areas of Ontario.
Through the Rural Ontario Medical Program (ROMP), we are striving to alleviate this issue by arranging core and elective rotations for medical students and residents, as well as for other health care professionals.
Part of the program also involves preceptors, who are there to be role models for learners and help them develop skills that will be critical to their future success.
If you are interested in applying to ROMP as either a learner or a preceptor, please contact us.
