Day 3 of the conference-Hanan Khalil

The theme of the plenay sessions today was about social accountability through sustainable partnerships. All three speakers talked about the theme in different context. Dr Charles Boens talked about NOSM as a good example of how an instituition can incorporate social accountability into its mandate. Dr Yarnold from Australia gave an excellent presentation about the efforts in improving Aboriginal Health issues in Australia and finally,Dr Doris Mitchell is an aboriginal woman from Canada, gave a very emotional speech about social accountability in medical education. She also talked about the history of aboriginal people in Canada. It certainly was the highlight of the conference for me so far!
