Dying for Change: How to Heal Canada’s Healthcare System

Presented by the Institute of Medical Science, UofT Talks aims to promote inter-disciplinary learning and networking through a symposium catered to everyone within all four School of Graduate Studies (SGS) divisions- Humanities, Social Science, Life Science, and Physical Sciences.

This year, join us in discussing our national pride: Canada’s universal healthcare system. Explore the strengths and shortcomings of our current model. Discover if and how we can implement critical changes to secure healthcare for all Canadians. 

Our featured speakers include Neil D. Fraser, President of Medtronic, and Dr. Danielle Martin, a family physician who is a strong advocate for better, universal healthcare and who infamously testified at the US senate in 2014 on what the United States healthcare system can learn from other countries.
