Presented by: Dr. Andrew Boozary, MD MPP SM CCFP, founding Executive Director of the UHN Gattuso Centre for Social Medicine
Moderated by: Dr. Amy Zarzeczny, MHA Program Director and Associate Professor, JSGS
Join us for a thought-provoking discussion that confronts the illusion of universality in Canada's health care system. This lecture will review the prevailing inequities within the system and expand our understanding of health beyond the conventional boundaries. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Boozary will discuss how it exacerbated chronic health disparities, shining a spotlight on structural discrimination as a fundamental contributor to these disparities. The lecture will conclude with a look at how innovative interventions and strategies that have the potential to reshape health equity and enhance the resilience of our health system could be implemented. Join us in reimagining a more just and adaptable healthcare future!
