Welcome to the third annual Canadian Women in Medicine Conference!

After thoughtful consideration and consultation with colleagues in Infectious Disease and Public Health, we have decided to move the Canadian Women in Medicine to a virtual platform. 
 
This was an extremely difficult decision to make, knowing how many attendees, and certainly ourselves as well, had looked forward to meeting in person at the upcoming conference. However, given the rapidly evolving COVID-19 situation, it has become clear that a mass gathering of physicians any time in 2020 is very unlikely and a postponement of an in-person event would not be possible. We also knew that cancelling wasn't an option because   we will need each other in June more than ever. 
 
We may not be together physically, but our virtual conference will have so many other ways to learn, connect, and support each other just when we need it most. And best of all, the talks will be available for your viewing for SIX MONTHS after the conference! 
​
This weekend will still be a wonderful opportunity for women physicians to learn and network in a supportive environment. Similar to past years, keynote speakers and workshops will cover a range of topics that touch all aspects of women’s lives: professional, financial and personal.

Due to last year’s success, we have expanded our pre-conference workshops for June 4th. We have sourced these workshops from your feedback, and we hope that you enjoy your time laughing and learning with these experts.

We look forward to "seeing you" in June on your screens. Let’s make this another event to remember! ​

This year, we are excited to announce that we will be supporting the Canadian Women's Foundation as our chosen charity.

Since 1991, the Canadian Women’s Foundation has become one of the largest women’s foundations in the world. The Foundation funds programs in the following issue areas:

• Out of Violence: Like you, we want all women and girls to live free of violence.
• Out of Poverty: Like you, we want women living on low incomes to have opportunities to move themselves out of poverty
• Empower Girls: Like you, we want all girls to believe in themselves and realize they matter.
• Inclusive Leadership: Like you, we want all women and girls to realize their potential for leadership.
