Although our healthcare system has a significant ecological footprint, medical students have little to no exposure to topics related to sustainable medicine. This six week speaker series featuring panelists from across Canada will introduce students to this important aspect of medicine to encourage reflection on how they might advocate for and promote sustainable practices as future physicians.
A Certificate of Completion is available to med students who attend at least 4/6 sessions AND write a brief reflection on their experience (250-500 words; more details forthcoming). Students who do NOT wish to participate in the program are welcome to join as many or as few sessions as they want.
