The Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Committee is happy to announce a new seminar series: the Equity in Healthcare and Research Seminar Series. The series will bring together local, national and international experts to lead discussions on fundamental issues central to healthcare and research in Canada. The overarching objective is to initiate and advance dialogues on issues surrounding justice and equity in the medical and health sciences among practitioners, researchers, trainees, funders, and other members in the medical community.听
Ultimately, we hope that these discussions will raise awareness of the past and present-day challenges faced regarding equity in the field of healthcare and health research, and initiatives for change being lead in Montreal, Canada, and globally.听
The first seminar of the series, titled 鈥淚ndigenous Realities in Healthcare鈥� was on March 1, 2024. The focus of this specific panel discussion is to present Indigenous perspectives within the Canadian and Quebec healthcare system.听
