Who We Are

ROMP has been organizing medical students and residents in Ontario by arranging core and elective medical rotations since 1988.

ROMPThere 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.

Our Vision

Our mission is to be the partner of choice for inspiring the next generation of healthcare professionals in rural Ontario.

How Our Program Works

With ROMP, we do more than just place learners in rural settings to practice medicine. We also:

  • Set-up credentialing and secure hospital privileges, so learners get hands-on learning experiences
  • Provide information about the lifestyle and community where learning opportunities exist
  • Assist learners with the cost of travelling and accommodation in some cases
  • Look after administrative procedures, so preceptors can focus on teaching
