8th Cardio-Rheumatology Symposium
The 8th Annual Cardio-Rheumatology Symposium brings together cardiologists, rheumatologists, respirologists, and nephrologists to address the intersection of cardiovascular disease and rheumatic conditions. The program is organized into three themed sessions: cardiovascular involvement in autoimmune conditions, the cardiovascular safety of rheumatologic therapies (from NSAIDs to biologic and targeted agents), and the emerging role of SGLT2 inhibitors in rheumatic disease management.
The program is delivered as a full-day hybrid symposium (in-person and live-streamed) with each themed session followed by a moderated multidisciplinary panel Q&A, allowing learners to see cardiology and rheumatology perspectives debated side by side. This format is designed to translate emerging evidence into practical, cross-specialty management strategies for a mixed audience of physicians, trainees, and allied health professionals.

FMWC 2026 AGM & Conference and MWIA North American Regional Meeting
This is a national gathering will also serve as the North American Regional Meeting of the Medical
Women’s International Association (MWIA), welcoming participants and leaders from across Canada,
the United States, and the international medical community. This dual designation positions the

healthcare.
Our 2026 theme—Beyond One Identity: Women Physicians Shaping the Future—reflects the reality
that women physicians lead at the intersection of multiple professional, personal, and social
identities. As clinicians, educators, researchers, innovators, and system leaders, women physicians
are driving change across healthcare delivery, policy, and workforce transformation. This conference
will create space for meaningful dialogue, learning, and collaboration on the challenges and
opportunities shaping the future of medicine. Building on the strong momentum and engagement of
prior meetings, the 2026 AGM will convene a highly engaged audience of physician leaders, learners, and decision-makers committed to equity, excellence and innovation in healthcare.

New and Evolving Academic Leaders (NEAL) Program 2026-2027
The NEAL Program is a one-year advanced leadership development program offered by the Centre for Faculty Development (CFD). In the NEAL program, the group builds a learning community through three intensive one-week modules over the year, themed as Foundations, Influence and Adaptation. In these modules, interdisciplinary faculty share resources and build capacity for reflective and relational practice, system thinking, influence and impact, and leading from adaptive purpose. Between modules, participants deepen their learning with coaching, peer connections, diverse assignments and leading a capstone project through engaging others. The program is intentionally shaped to bring together a diverse set of participant leaders to consider how we all need to work collaboratively in shaping and shifting our broader system for positive health outcomes. Learners may have a formal role as a leader, or may be an influencer or change agent with a meaningful purpose. NEAL is a Canadian Society of Physician Leaders-approved leadership CPD activity required as part of the Academic Route for the Canadian Certified Physician Executive (CCPE) designation.
