The 5th International Congress on Whole Person Care

Accredited for up to 18 credits RCPSC MOC Section 1; CFPC Mainpro+ Group Learning

For this year’s Congress we are focusing on the often unspoken about “Elephants in the Room” when we teach and promote whole person care. There are many such elephants. As well as focusing on a few that we are aware of, we will provide a space for participants to bring their own elephants to explore with the group. We have designed this congress as a progressive healing journey starting with the most personally threatening challenge that we all face, our own mortality, and progressing through successive half day sessions on dealing with trauma, negotiating an often-alienating healthcare system, and concluding by sending participants away with a sense of their own wholeness and resilience. To aid in this process we will have a public lecture, plenary talks, daily self-care sessions, workshops, papers, posters, and panel discussions, as well as an evening of “Bitter Sweet” entertainment.
