At the heart of academic medicine are the people and partnerships that drive positive change. This page celebrates the growing community working to create safe, inclusive, and health-promoting learning and working environments across Canada. Through collaboration, shared learning, and a commitment to well-being, we are building a stronger future for everyone in academic medicine.
We cannot accept the current systemic hazards in medical culture that threaten the wellbeing of our learners, administrators and faculty members. We need to embrace our agency and influence locally and nationally. The Okanagan Charter is a vehicle to harness local, organizational and trans-Canada momentum and talent.
This initiative seeks to empower individuals in academic medicine to collectively strive towards embedding equity, compassion, respect, safe spaces, and self-care into the fabric of our communities.
The following stories of positive impact were shared from members of the academic medicine community to inspire compassion and respect in others.
