16th Annual Women's Health Symposium

Welcome!

Dear Colleagues,

Please mark Friday January 10^th on your calendar, register now, and join us online for St. Michael’s Hospital 16^th Annual Women’s Health Symposium - WHS 2025.

We have invited some of our most informed and engaging clinicians to present concise and informative lectures on important issues related to women’s health. This year, we are pleased to have Dr. Paul Mohapel as our special guest speaker for the Mary Cassaday Keynote Lecture. Dr. Mohapel is Director of Mohapel Consulting in Victoria, BC. He will help us learn how to "break the digital spell" as we evaluate the impact of our digital habits.

The program will be recorded so that you can review all talks and information presented (available for one month post conference). We also plan to answer as many questions as possible either live or through the Q & A box and will provide a transcript of all questions answered through this tool.

So grab a coffee and your laptop and plan to be with us for an enjoyable 1/2-day of learning on January 10, 2025!
