The annual Anti-Oppression in Health Care & Sciences Symposium is set for Saturday, May 20, 2023, from 9AM - 3PM! The main goals of the event are to create a space for learners to discuss equity and justice issues within academic spaces, by showcasing work they are engaging in and also connecting with others working across Temerty Medicine & in the community. Lunch and light refreshments will be provided free of charge.

We invite you to join us for a day of guest speakers, workshops, and connecting with student groups who are all committed to anti-oppression work in healthcare. This event is open to all Temerty Medicine & U of T students, faculty, staff, and members of the TAHSN community. We would love as many people as possible to hear about this event!
