It is always a pleasure to have Rosie in Elliot Lake. Rosie, a 4th-year NOSM University medical student, first came to Elliot Lake for a 7-month clerkship placement and subsequently returned for an additional two weeks. During her brief stay, Rosie actively immersed herself in the community by participating in a mixed curling night, the city shopping night, a night out bowling, handing candy to the kids at the annual Santa Claus parade, and finising her two weeks in our community at the Elliot Lake Family Health Team's Christmas party. You will be missed!
