Dear Colleagues,
We are thrilled to invite you to the next Disability Research and Education in Academic Medicine (DREAM) Research Rounds, where we'll explore one of the most progressive and impactful developments in medical education: the new Canadian Consensus Statement on Technical Standards.
📅 Date: February 26, 2025
🕓 Time: 4–5 PM EST
🔗 Register here: https://bit.ly/DREAM_Feb_25
What makes this event a must-attend?
The Consensus Statement represents a bold, collaborative effort to address outdated technical standards that have long excluded learners with disabilities. This innovative approach prioritizes inclusivity and anti-ableism, reflecting the realities of modern medical education.
You'll hear from these incredible thought leaders:
- Lisa Graves, MD, MCI.SC
- Cheryl Holmes, MD, MHPE
- Laura Nimmon, PhD, MA, BA
Together, they'll share how this framework is being adopted and implemented across Canada and the powerful vision driving this change.
Let's come together to learn from our Canadian colleagues and discuss how we can all contribute to a more inclusive future in medical education.
Looking forward to seeing you there!
