From our friends Dalhousie University. Dr. Haggarty will outline past traditional rural psychiatric care, and its evolved models over the past several decades; explore how lessons from African countries such as Rwanda might guide Canada to improve services models for our most northern and Indigenous communities; and describe how rural Rwanda models of education (the University of Global Health Equity, UGHE) have synergy with that of the NOSM University.
