Presenters, Panellists and Exhibitors - Western University

Western University
Friday, May 3, 2024

Our national Discovery Days program aims to educate, encourage and inspire high school students who are curious about careers in medicine and health sciences. The Canadian Medical Hall of Fame is committed to fostering inclusion and supporting the leadership efforts at Canadian universities to change the diversity pathway to medicine and the health sciences. We encourage teachers to include students who self-identify as Indigenous, Black or a Person of Colour, or who come from a rural or known disadvantaged socioeconomic background, when considering who will be invited to attend this event.  

Each event features exhibits, a captivating keynote lecture, interactive workshops, and a thought-provoking career panel discussion. Download our agenda here.

We invite participation from community practitioners, faculty, trainees, staff and students with a passion for outreach to youth. Use the submission form found further below to join in this exciting program!
