The Specialty Program has been an integral part of the NMU since its' inception.

Throughout the years the NMU has strived to identify issues and concerns of the communities and use creative strategies to address them. The specialty component of the NMU has expanded from its' original 6 specialties to 23, not including the Diabetic Foot and Retinal Screening Programs.

Outreach delivery of specialty programs reduces the need for patients to travel to large urban areas and reduces the inconvenience and associated costs.

On a rotating basis the Program deploys from a roster of 70 itinerant specialists. The following specialty services are provided:

• Anesthesia
• Colposcopy
• ENT
• Geriatric Medicine
• Infectious Diseases
• Internal Medicine
• Obstetrics/Gynecology
