Event title:听Faculty Development:听Redesigning Assessments in the Age of AI
In honour of Black History Month, this event will explore the stigma and current state of Black mental health in Canada, highlighting both best practices and the biases that shape clinical care. Through real-life examples, we鈥檒l examine how Black individuals navigating psychological concerns may experience dismissal, gaslighting, or misinterpretation of their symptoms鈥攐ften rooted in systemic and practitioner-level bias. We will also discuss how clinicians鈥� assumptions can influence diagnosis and treatment, particularly when lived experiences of racism are minimized or overlooked.
Canada鈥檚 primary care system is in crisis and the shortage of doctors is only one visible symptom. This talk draws on insights from social science to explore how policy choices, institutional cultures, and structural inequities have shaped the system we have today. It makes the case for increasing investments toward prevention and community-based care 鈥� including social prescribing, community health workers, and integrated social supports 鈥� as part of a broader vision for equitable, effective primary care.
