Event details:

Join the Queer in Medicine Interest Group at the Northern Ontario School of Medicine University (NOSMU) in Sudbury for a community meetup! This event will bring together 2SLGBTQ+ community members and NOSMU medical students for discussions about inclusive healthcare.

📍 Location: Main Public Library, 74 Mackenzie Street, Sudbury

📅 Date: May 26th, 2025, from 6 pm to 8 pm

📌 In-person event

Attendees can submit anonymous questions in advance—either for medical students or fellow community members—to guide the discussion on affirming and responsive care for 2SLGBTQ+ patients in the North. Facilitated by Cynthia Larche and Chelsey Pilon, this conversation will address these questions in a safe space. Together, we will discuss challenges and envision improved healthcare practices.

We also want to hear from you! Our submission form will be available before, during, and after the event to collect community feedback on the medical experiences of 2SLGBTQ+ individuals in Northern Ontario. Your input will shape future training at NOSMU and advocate for meaningful changes in healthcare education. This is a unique opportunity to make your voice heard, connect with community members, and help create a more inclusive healthcare system.

Local organizations, including Fierté Sudbury Pride and Réseau ACCES Network, will be on-site to share information about their services. For more information or to support this event, please reach out!
