A group of diverse folks in community

Community of Practice

Our virtual community of practice (CoP) is for 2SLGBTQ+ healthcare professionals working in cancer care to share ideas, learn from each other, and work toward positive change. Although our focus is on supporting queer, trans and gender diverse folks, we warmly welcome allies and 2SLGBTQ+ people with lived cancer experience.

About the group

Beginning in October, Zoom sessions will be held quarterly for one hour. Each session will be a mix of learning, connection and sharing. We will evaluate as we go, and are open to changing format, timing and topics depending on participant feedback.

When you register for the CoP we will send you upcoming meeting details and a link to join.

Please note that you do not have to attend every meeting to join the Community of Practice!

Building strength and community for 2SLGBTQ+ healthcare professionals.

Come and explore building connection in cancer care for 2SLGBTQ+ healthcare professionals. We will discuss provider pressures and the impacts of cis-heteronormative systems. How can we care for ourselves and each other? How can we create meaningful moments of connection and support for patients?

Discussants: Laura Imayoshi (Community Partner, Queering Cancer) and Alphonse Daniel (Social Work Student, Princess Margaret Sexual and Gender Diversity in Cancer Care Program)
