The 2017 Barry Smith Symposium aims to introduce and tackle issues that are important for healthcare and systemic change, but that are not normally a part of the curriculum. We hope to educate students so that they can recognize the challenges ahead of them, and to inspire them to take action in the face of these challenges. The event is held in a panel format, and as such, emphasizes discussion and interaction with the audience.

This year we will be joined by a highly esteemed panel to share their views on End of Life Care, Death and Dying. We are pleased to welcome André Picard, Dr. Andreas Laupacis, Dr. Brian Goldman, and Dr. Craig Goldie as our featured speakers.

The event will be taking place on Friday, September 8, 2017 from 4:30 – 7:30 pm in the School of Medicine Building room 132A. Please join us for food and refreshments at 4:30 pm in the atrium to begin the event.
