Health Equity in Biomedical Engineering Summer Retreat
That's a wrap!
We would like to extend thanks to our new friends at the University of Toronto's CaRDM Eq NSERC CREATE for joining this year for our annual retreat! Connections were made, learning was shared and plans for another joint retreat in 2027 have already begun!
This retreat is not just another academic event - it is a gathering of passionate change-makers who gather to share ideas, support one another, learn and collaborate. Thank you to our faculty, trainees, community and to NSERC for helping make this year's event another success.
Highlights included:
Shared learnings from Western & U of T's Trainees
Keynote from Florin Gheorghe, Innovation Specialist at UNICEF
System Impact Workshop from Obidimma Ezezika, Western University
Innovation Speed Networking
Generative AI demo, Jim Lacefield & Maria Drangova, Western University
