It will have a special focus on all learners – medical students, residents as well as graduate students and post-doctoral scholars – including opportunities to present, network and to connect with mentors and potential employers.

There has never been a more critical time to examine and identify climate solutions, health human resources planning and wellness, among other key themes in health care transformation. By bringing together medical experts from around the world, the ICAM ensures current medical students and residents, and the next generation of physicians, are trained to meet the needs of patients now and in the years to come.”
