Join us on February 29th, 2020 for the Black Physicians’ Association of Ontario (BPAO) Annual Health Symposium. The day long symposium covers a wide range of health issues with a focus on diseases or determinants of health that disproportionately or differentially affect Ontario’s minority groups. It is also used as a forum to highlight successful physicians and rising stars within the community of black physicians within Ontario.
This year’s keynote speaker is Lisa Robinson, Associate Dean of Inclusion and Diversity at the University of Toronto. Dr. Robinson will speak to us about the importance of inclusion and diversity in academic medicine and biomedical sciences. She will also provide an update on the U of T Faculty of Medicine’s inclusion and diversity initiatives.
