FULL CIRCLE WITH HMF
Join us for a fireside chat on January 22, from 12:00 – 1:00 EST, with Mei-ling Wiedmeyer, MD, and Ruth Lavergne, PhD, as they talk about their research into how immigration shapes health disadvantages and what health organizations can do to deliver more equitable care. They conducted a community-based project in British Columbia exploring how immigration status, access to health insurance, lack of language supports, and experiences of trauma and discrimination create barriers when accessing health services. They provide strategies for health leaders to attend to the diverse and intersecting community needs of immigrants and migrants in Canada. Mei-ling Wiedmeyer is a Clinical Assistant Professor at the University of British Columbia. She is a clinician scientist who contributes to community engagement and knowledge translation activities in research on access to health for immigrants and migrants in British Columbia. She is also a primary care physician focused on health and family planning for these populations. Ruth Lavergne is an Associate Professor in the Department of Family Medicine at Dalhousie University. Her program of research aims to address disparities in access and build evidence to ensure primary care organization, delivery, and workforce meet the needs of Canadians now and in the future.
COLLECTION ON DIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND INCLUSION
The Canadian College of Health Leaders is committed to the principles and practices of equity, diversity, and inclusion and equips health leaders with practical resources that they can use to advance their personal, interpersonal, and strategic capabilities to foster behavioural and structural inclusion. These articles contribute to the body of knowledge for health leaders in this area.
