Less than 60 years ago, hopeful and brilliant minds were still being rejected from medical school in North America for the colour of their skin. Today, we celebrate our union, our freedom and the privilege we have to practice Medicine in advocacy for the health of all people.

Thank you to the Black Physicians Association of Ontario for organizing this Social that united the beautiful upcoming MD2022 class, current students, residents and staff for fellowship and networking!
