Why This Medical Conference REFUSES to Talk About Medicine:

No lectures on diabetes guidelines. No clinical deep dives.
So why does the Canadian Women in Medicine (CWIM) Conference continue to grow every year?

In this clip from Leaders in Healthcare Episode #82, Dr. Ziai, Ophthalmologist and Co-Founder of CWIM, explains why the conference intentionally focuses on physician wellness, burnout, relationships, and personal growth instead of traditional CME topics.

For healthcare professionals navigating increasingly demanding systems, this conversation offers a fresh perspective on what sustainable medicine might look like.
