Power & Privilege Workshop

1:00-4:00PM

Live Zoom: https://ualberta-ca.zoom.us/j/91828701258?pwd=aHRwR3J6L0lIMkFvVG1zblNkTWVIdz09

Instructor: Dr. Evelyn Hamdon

Overview: An awareness of power and privilege is essential for patient-centered care. However, it is a concept that societies often struggle with and resist. Even among those who acknowledge the immense impact that power and privilege have in our society, it can be an uncomfortable topic that many tend to avoid. As future healthcare professionals and patient advocates, however, it is especially vital for us to become aware of and conversant in this issue.

This session will be hosted by Evelyn Hamdon. She is the Senior Advisor, Equity and Human Rights, in the Office of the Provost and Vice-President (Academic) at University of Alberta.

The 3 hours from this event can contribute to any Community Engagement portfolio elective (Global Health Education and Advocacy, Inner City Health, Indigenous Health, Sexual and Reproductive Health) or a Mix & Match elective.
