The committee regularly seeks input throughout the Faculty of Medicine, such as the Office of Global Affairs, the Associate Dean for Serving and Engaging Society, the DFM Indigenous Health Lead and the DFM Social Accountability Lead to inform the content and delivery of sessions in this series. As speakers/moderators/ facilitators are identified for sessions, balanced representation will be considered. The committee is conscious however of the impact of seeking speakers who are in high demand and the importance that those experiencing privilege also need to deliver content to enhance understanding.
