This module will be facilitated by Dr. Lyn Sonnenberg (MEd) and Jade Alcantara (BN, MSc) from the Equity in Health Systems (EqHS) Lab. Their work focuses on inclusive practice, system-level transformation, and developing educational tools that center equity and belonging.
To help you prepare, we recommend reviewing two foundational texts from the Equity in Action book series. These resources will support your learning throughout the module and provide helpful context ahead of the in-person session.
If you prefer a printed or e-book version, both are available on Amazon:
