Are You Prepared for the New Core Competency in Canadian Medicine?
The rules for residency interviews have changed. It's no longer enough to be clinically excellent. Interviewers are now rigorously testing your commitment to Social Accountability—specifically, how you address the healthcare sector's role in the climate crisis. Answering these questions with generalities like "I'll recycle more" shows a lack of systems awareness and leadership—a major red flag for admissions committees. We will teach you the precise language, the specific projects, and the stakeholder awareness needed to transform your answer from basic to High-Scoring. This is a must-attend event for IMGs or CaRMS Candidates seeking to elevate their interview performance, and all health professionals or environmental allies interested in this topic who would like to listen and contribute insights! In Just 60 Minutes, You Will Master...
