Symposium Goals and Objectives

Symposium Goal

The 2022 symposium aims to work with a learning community in exploring and understanding the resiliency and transformation of rural and remote communities from several perspectives, including physicians, community members, and Indigenous Peoples.

Symposium Objectives

1. Explore rural community resiliency in the face of climate change and the COVID-19 pandemic, informed by perspectives from the CCEDARR study.
2. Consider system transformation in response to changing conditions and ecosystem disruptions from multiple perspectives (including but not limited to health) and generate recommendations.
3. Explore the implications of these understandings and recommendations on our activities as researchers, educators, and planners. How do we go forward? How will we transform in ways that make sense?
