WISHES Symposium

The Wellness Innovation Scholarship for Health Professions Education and Health Sciences (WISHES) is a virtual laboratory aimed at enhancing the learning experience at CSM by reducing stigma related to illness and creating a safe culture for help seeking. WISHES engages key stakeholders across the CSM, the University, as well as across the province and country to advocate for a more accessible and sustainable approach to managing learner wellness and illness. WISHES is bringing together practitioners and scholars alike to collaborate on learner wellness projects focused on the areas of mental health, physical health, occupational health, social health and intellectual health.

The inaugural WISHES Symposium will be held on October 10, 2019 from 11:00am-5:00pm at the Health Sciences Centre at the Cumming School of Medicine. This free event is open to anyone with an interest in learner and health care professional wellness scholarship and innovation.
