In today's episode, we have a special treat for you as we recap the North American Refugee Health Conference (NARHC) held in Calgary, Canada. This conference, hosted by the Society of Refugee Healthcare Providers (https://refugeesociety.org/narhc-conference/) , brought together healthcare professionals, researchers, and community scholars to discuss and address the unique challenges refugees and immigrants face in accessing healthcare.
Joining me today are a diverse group of guests, including Duncan Reid (https://www.uwmedicine.org/bios/duncan-reid) from the International Medicine Clinic, Rachel Talavlikar (https://www.refugeehealthyyc.ca/about) from the Mosaic Refugee Health Clinic, and representatives from the Community Scholars Program in Calgary.
Together, we will dive into
• the key themes and takeaways from the conference, ranging from respecting Indigenous voices to the power of storytelling and healing through art.
• the importance of centering community voices and restructuring power and authority
• building strong connections within our communities.
• the experiences of internationally trained physicians
• the role of research in addressing healthcare disparities
