A community for Canadian physicians and medical professionals


🍁 While this community is intended for Canadian discussions, you are free to post about other medical systems. We're all in this together :)

Rules

  1. No requests for professional advice or general medical information. Please do not solicit medical advice or share personal health anecdotes about yourself or others.

  2. No promotions, advertisements, surveys, or petitions.

  3. Link to high-quality, original research whenever possible: Posts which rely on or reference scientific data (e.g. an announcement about a medical breakthrough) should link to the original research in peer-reviewed medical journals or respectable news sources as judged by the moderators. Sensationalized titles, misrepresentation of results, or promotion of blatantly bad science may lead to removal.

  4. Act professionally and decently: /r/medicine is a public forum that represents the medical community and comments should reflect this. Please keep disagreement civil and focused on issues.

  5. Protect patient confidentiality. Please anonymize cases and remove any patient-identifiable information.

  6. No memes or low-effort posts: Memes, image links (including social media screenshots), images of text, or other low-effort posts or comments are not allowed.

These rules have been modelled after /r/medicine. While some rules were modified or skipped as this is a much smaller community, we can revisit the rules as we go. Thank you :)

Canada Health Infoway is a decent organization that works on increasing interoperability of healthcare systems in Canada. I haven't personally been to this event, but I heard about it in their newsletter. Hopefully someone finds it useful!

I copied the relevant portion below:


Are you a patient or caregiver who is passionate about helping shape health care in Canada?

As part of Infoway’s commitment to amplifying the patient voice and acknowledging the critical role patients, families and caregivers have in the health system, we are pleased to offer a limited number of scholarships to patients, caregivers, and family members to attend the 2023 Infoway Partnership Conference in Vancouver Nov. 14-15, 2023.

The presence and participation of patients is crucial in enriching the experience for all conference attendees, as well as empowering and engaging patients as advocates for patients in their own communities.

The deadline to apply is August 17.
