It is mandated both to educate doctors and to contribute to care in [[Northern Ontario]]'s urban, rural and remote communities, and has campuses in both Sudbury and Thunder Bay.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/thunder-bay/northern-ontario-school-of-medicine-delivers-more-doctors-to-the-north-1.3203678 |title=Northern Ontario School of Medicine delivers more doctors to the north |author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.--> |date=26 August 2015 |website=cbc.ca |publisher=CBC News, Thunder Bay |access-date=3 June 2016 }}</ref>

The Northern Ontario School of Medicine was originally created as a partnership between [[Laurentian University]] in [[Greater Sudbury|Sudbury]] and [[Lakehead University]] in [[Thunder Bay]], before being made a standalone university in April 2022.<ref>{{cite news |last=Gillis |first=Len |date=March 7, 2022 |title=Northern Ontario's new NOSM University becomes official April 1 |work=North Bay Nugget |url=https://www.nugget.ca/news/northern-ontarios-new-nosm-university-becomes-official-april-1 |access-date=August 16, 2022}}</ref>

The school is known for its small class size, distributed model of education, heavy emphasis on enabling technologies, problem-based and self-directed learning, and early exposure to clinical skills.  The school describes its campus as "Northern Ontario".  This is evidenced by the close relationship between the school and various communities and First Nations throughout the region.  All students complete a month-long placement in an Aboriginal or Métis community in May of their first year.  In the second year, they travel to smaller communities for two, month-long placements (one in the fall and the other in the winter).  The third year is clerkship and is spent living in one of the medium-sized communities for the entire year.  The fourth year of studies is completed in Sudbury or Thunder Bay.

In 2021, following the [[2021 Laurentian University financial crisis]], the provincial government announced NOSM would become an independent institution which would retain collaborative relationships with both Laurentian and Lakehead but would be funded directly by the provincial government as a standalone university.<ref>[https://www.northernontariobusiness.com/industry-news/training-education/northern-ontario-school-of-medicine-moving-forward-with-new-status-new-name-3863187 "Northern Ontario School of Medicine moving forward with new status, new name"].

The school also accepts donations from the public, health care agencies, local governments, foundations and corporations. Donors can choose to support a particular area of the school's development, including social accountability, research capacity, human resource planning and innovation in education.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Giving |url=https://www.nosm.ca/advancement/giving/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220204230546/https://www.nosm.ca/advancement/giving/ |archive-date=2022-02-04 |access-date=2022-03-13 |website=Northern Ontario School of Medicine}}</ref> Some of NOSM's largest donors include [[AstraZeneca]], [[Barrick Gold]], [[BMO Bank of Montreal]], [[Bristol Myers Squibb]], [[CTV Television Network|CTV]], [[Eli Lilly and Company|Eli Lilly]], [[Fidelity Investments]], [[HSBC Bank Canada]], [[Hydro One Inc.]], [[Royal Bank of Canada]], [[Scotiabank]], [[City of Greater Sudbury]], [[Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada]], [[TD Bank Group|TD Bank Financial Group]], [[City of Thunder Bay]], and [[Wyeth|Wyeth Canada]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Donor Wall {{!}} NOSM |url=https://www.nosm.ca/advancement/giving/yourimpact/donor-wall/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200921055525/https://www.nosm.ca/advancement/giving/yourimpact/donor-wall/ |archive-date=2020-09-21 |access-date=2022-03-13 |website=Northern Ontario School of Medicine}}</ref>
