Please join us for our AGM and special keynote presentation from Dr. Jillian Horton. Dr. Horton’s first book, We Are All Perfectly Fine: A memoir of love, medicine and healing is a Canadian bestseller. 

In this special presentation, Dr. Horton will create an opportunity for personal reflection; explore the risks, benefits, and barriers of using personal narrative to affect culture change; and help us discover the ways in which mindfulness can allow us to influence the organizational and system factors that are the primary drivers of burnout.
