The Northern Ontario Academic Medicine Association (NOAMA) was created to manage, distribute and administer the Alternate Funding Plan (AFP) funding on behalf of the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (MOHLTC) and the Members. The original AFP created by the MOHLTC and the Ontario Medical Association did not cover the NOSM physician clinical faculty. Therefore a need arose for the NOSM alternate funding plan, which was signed in 2009 providing $7.1 million in annual funding. The NOSM AFP provides funds for clinical teaching, medical research, clinical innovation and recruitment of physicians to Northern Ontario.
