February is Black History Month. While we should celebrate Black history and excellence every day, this is an opportunity for a focused, intentional and elevated reflection and recognition of Black history and achievement — and the many historical and contemporary contributions of Black Canadians, Black British Columbians and Black students, faculty and staff at UBC.
Beyond Representation: Celebrating Black Excellence in BC Healthcare
To commemorate Black History Month, join the Faculty of Medicine’s Office of Respectful Environments, Equity, Diversity & Inclusion and Vancouver Coastal Health for a panel event on Wednesday, February 28, 2024 from 12–1:30 pm.
Learn about and celebrate the important contributions made by Black professionals in BC healthcare. During this session, the panelists will speak to their experiences navigating the healthcare work environment and speak to the importance of recognizing and promoting Black excellence in healthcare.
