Given the success of the Fall in-person workshop, we're inviting you to gather with us, celebrate successes, and have meaningful conversations to recharge, reflect, and come together. Join us as we continue the conversation with our spring speakers Dr. Karen Schultz and Dr. Stephanie Nixon, and welcome Dr. Cherie Jones to the workshop: 

Unpacking the Hidden Curriculum: Nurturing a Culture of Humanity

This program is a beacon for interdisciplinary conversation about the Humanity in Healthcare. Speakers and panelists are from across the health professions, patient representatives, and advocates. The program is a chance to connect and recharge by looking at what unifies us all: the experience, joys, and agonies of providing and experiencing healthcare.
 

Karen Schultz (Pinky), MD, CCFP, FCCP. I was born and raised in Vancouver, and thus still live in perpetual hope that winter will be only 2 months long!  I have worked as a family physician at Queen’s essentially my whole working career, and currently have the honour of being the associate dean for PGME.  I live in Kingston with my husband and wonder dog Gus, and have 2 grown kids off doing exciting things in various places.

Prior to joining Queen’s in July 2022, Stephanie spent 15 years as a professor in the Department of Physical Therapy at the University of Toronto.
