What if the solution to today’s healthcare challenges isn’t simply adding more doctors, nurses, and paramedics? On November 12, the next presentation in the Art of Science series invites you to look beyond the healthcare system itself and explore the social factors that shape health and well-being.
Sociology professor Dr. Mike Corman is the speaker for Do We Need More Doctors, Nurses, and Paramedics? Look Upstream! at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre. This thought-provoking presentation examines how sociology can help us better understand some of the complex pressures facing healthcare today, and how looking upstream may point towards different, and potentially more effective, solutions.
Part of the Art of Science series, the presentation reflects the series’ commitment to bringing fascinating ideas and accessible scientific conversations to the community. From medicine and health to the social forces that shape our everyday lives, Art of Science encourages you to ask questions, explore new perspectives, and discover the science behind the world around us.
The Art of Science series is co-presented by Chilliwack ElderCollege, who has generously worked towards creating more unique learning opportunities within the community. Through this partnership, the Chilliwack Cultural Centre and Chilliwack Elder College aspire to foster curiosity, encourage life-long learning, and providing engaging opportunities to explore a wide range of fascinating topics. Together, they are creating a space where people can come together and discover something new, all while connecting through a shared love of learning.
