On Saturday, February 28, 2026, the Black Physicians’ Association of Ontario (BPAO) will be back with their 17th Annual Health Symposium, a flagship event that has united physicians, medical learners, researchers, and allied health professionals across Ontario for nearly two decades.

This year’s program will include cutting-edge clinical discussions, expanded conversations on DEI leadership in healthcare, and the return of the Emerging Scholars Research Spotlight, showcasing innovative research from early-career physicians and trainees.

The BPAO Health Symposium provides a unique opportunity for healthcare professionals across disciplines to engage in meaningful dialogue, strengthen collaboration, and access evidence-informed strategies that improve outcomes for Black patients and diverse populations in Ontario.
