Program Overview
The Ontario Psychiatric Outreach Program (OPOP) is the largest and most comprehensive provider of psychiatric outreach services to under-serviced areas of Ontario. It aims to provide high-quality clinical and educational services in psychiatry with the goal of building mental health service capacity in these regions.
We continually strive to provide interprofessional, contextually relevant community-oriented service and education. OPOP is funded through the Northern Health Program of the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care. Currently three university programs participate in OPOP: the University of Ottawa's Northern Ontario Francophone Psychiatric Program; the Northern Psychiatric Outreach Program at CAMH; and the University of Western Ontario's Extended Campus Program. OPOP has strong collaborations with CAMH Telepsychiatry Services and the Northern Ontario School of Medicine (NOSM).
