Join LMPSU on Tuesday November 5th 6:00-8:00PM @ MS3163 for an important and necessary discussion of the ethical considerations of short-term, international medical volunteering. We have a diverse panel to explore all sides of the issue as much as possible:
– Prof. Helen Dimaras, Assistant Professor in Global Health
– Byron Song, Co-Founder of Global Medical Training U of T
– Jasmine Song, Participant of a VIDA U of T trip
– Prof. Marieme Lo, Assistant Professor in African Studies
If you have taken part in a volunteering trip, are considering going on one, or are simply a thoughtful onlooker, then this is the event for you. The emphasis of the panel is on audience interaction, so bring your questions and friends! Students from all disciplines and levels of study are welcome. Light snacks will be provided!
