For OMS Vancouver's 2022 conference, our theme is Unifying Medicine. In this series, we strive to showcase the future of medicine in a post-pandemic landscape, emphasizing the different aspects of our health infrastructure and how these occupations work in conjunction to foster diversity. Furthermore, we hope to acknowledge the disconnect among the various industries in the field of health, as exhibited by the pandemic, and to what effect this disrupts the integrity of patient care.

The ultimate goal of this series is to envision an intersectional approach to community health. In highlighting the immense contributions of minority groups in our healthcare system, such as Indigenous and Eastern traditional medicine practitioners, the osteopathic stream of medicine, the rise of clinical biotechnology, and more, we hope to create an event that empowers the physicians and health professionals of the future to reflect upon the importance of equity as they pursue roles in leadership.

Unifying Medicine will provide attendees the opportunity to interact with professionals, and ask any questions that surface during the presentations. The webinar series will be composed of panel discussions, Q&As, keynote presentations, and workshops hosted by individuals at the top of their respective fields within the health science industry. As this is a virtual event, students from any region are more than welcome to participate! The series will consist of three webinars throughout the month of April, on Saturdays, with an exception of Easter, as described below:
