We worked with Dr. Mireille Norris, Geriatrician at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre and Associate Professor of Medicine at the University of Toronto, to discuss dementia, fall prevention and supporting Black and Indigenous medical learners in Canada.
In addition to inviting key media to attend Dr. Norris’ presentation at the 16th Annual Health Symposium hosted by the Black Physicians’ Association of Ontario (BPAO), we also set up interviews for Dr. Norris (and her family) with CTV News to talk about the importance of dementia and fall prevention; with the Toronto Star about her work around the Black and Indigenous core internal medicine pathway; and with the Medical Post to discuss interventions for Black Canadians living with dementia and new research.
