Title: Working Together: Driving Towards Authentic Belonging and Health Equity in our Health System
Abstract: The current health system in Canada is straining under the weight of numerous challenges that have exposed and even amplified the inequities that exist in care and experience. During this session we will explore the realities and challenges of our current health system from an educational perspective, and then identify the enablers within health professions education that can be leveraged to experience authentic belonging as we strive towards health equity for all.
