Living and practicing in Manitoba’s North with Dr. Andora Jackson
When I first started medical school, I pictured a career as a medical researcher.
My plans quickly changed when I was offered an opportunity to work as a clinician in Northern Manitoba. The opportunity really showcased how diverse my work could be and the ways in which I could enjoy applying clinical and surgical skills with the opportunity to apply evidence-based practice. This has allowed me to provide meaningful change for women’s health in the North, which is both rewarding and exciting for me!
I was recruited when I was a medical student and had a chance to complete some training in northern communities until I left for specialty training. When I finished in 2012, I came back to live and work in the region as an obstetrician-gynecologist. And I haven’t left.
I highly recommend medical students and residents look for training opportunities in the North to discover how rewarding the clinical experience can be outside urban tertiary centres.
In the North, you really do use all your training because you are the one person there to support the community. I’m the first person that people have access to address their care needs. While I can refer people to a larger centre, providing care to patients in this region provides a chance to apply all of my skills.
We depend on each other as a team. The nurses, the clerks, the obstetricians and the neonatal doctors. Everybody has to be able to work together because it takes all of us to care for a mom and a baby, particularly in times when there could be crisis. The nurses in the North are some of the best I’ve ever encountered. They are highly skilled because they not only do routine labour and delivery but they have to deal with pre-term babies, high-risk situations and everything else that comes their way.
We not only manage care together, we also laugh and sometimes cry together. Up here, you work independently but still need to be a team player. It’s important to understand the population you are serving. Some of the most rewarding experiences I’ve had are working with our First Nations communities to bring birth options closer to home.
I love working in the North. This work is my life. I’m pretty lucky to work alongside really skilled providers who share my dedication and commitment to the betterment and care of everyone.
Manitoba celebrates physicians who work in every sector of our health system whose skills, compassion and contributions to quality care make a difference in the lives of Manitobans every day.

Long Term Care Update July 14, 2025
The Northern Health Region and Shared Health acknowledge the stress and uncertainty this situation has caused residents, families, and the community. We remain fully committed to supporting the wellbeing of all individuals affected and are working diligently to facilitate a safe return home for everyone as soon as possible.
The safety, health, and comfort of patients and PCH residents remains the highest priority for the Northern Health Region and Shared Health. We are working with Manitoba Wildfire Services and the Emergency Management Organization to closely monitor the ongoing wildfire situation and conduct thorough risk assessments, including the impact of wildfire smoke.
On Thursday, July 10th, the community of Thompson faced multiple risks including heavy smoke. This led to the difficult but necessary decision to temporarily relocate personal care home residents to ensure their safety. The temporary relocation of Thompson residents to Flin Flon was implemented as a short-term measure in response to rapidly changing environmental conditions.
As of today, residents of the Flin Flon Personal Care Home have begun returning to their home facility. Northern Lights Manor residents will return to Flin Flon in the coming days.
All transfers are being conducted with the utmost attention to the individual health needs and comfort of each resident.
