Webinar: Embedding Equity in Leadership & Teams

#POPLAR EDIIA Webinar Series | Part 1: Embedding Equity in Leadership & Teams | Monday, July 25, 2022, 12-1 pm

To build a culture that supports EDIIA principles, leaders must embrace an inclusive approach. The transformation necessary for this approach will only happen if new behaviours and organizational practices are “baked-in” to our everyday work. During this session, you’ll hear from Nicole Kaniki, Director of EDI in Research and Innovation at the University of Toronto who shares her experiences and how her organization is approaching EDIIA into the future.

# About the POPLAR EDIIA Series

Equitably improving primary health care requires research and practice-based learning that are thoroughly grounded in the principles of Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, Indigeneity, and Accessibility (EDIIA). POPLAR, Ontario’s provincial primary healthcare Practice-Based Learning and Research Network, is hosting four monthly webinars, beginning in July, for anyone who wants to learn more about building these principles into their work.

POPLAR’s vision is to advance equitable primary healthcare delivery and health outcomes for everyone in Ontario. We aim to embed EDIIA principles in all our activities. This ongoing learning journey requires self-awareness, reflection, and action. We are committed to developing approaches to leadership, research, data collection, knowledge mobilization, knowledge translation, and data management that are in keeping with EDIIA. Join us in our journey.
