AccessPrivacy, in collaboration with the Department of Family and Community Medicine at the University of Toronto, will be hosting its Inaugural Health Privacy Symposium on Friday, November 17, 2023.
Our health care system is facing an array of critical challenges. Tackling these challenges will require unlocking siloed data for the good of patients, communities, and public health.
