FMRAC Partners Collaboration Session

How might we, as a Regulatory community and with our CMF partners, look past the challenges and work together to find new ways that we might drive sustainable, meaningful change for healthcare in Canada?

Although not a healthcare subject matter expert, Phil has worked within the Canadian healthcare environment many times to help resolve critical challenges over the past 25 years. He will not bring solutions to the table but will discuss how to create the conditions where we might be able to draw on the combined wisdom, resources and skills of our leadership teams to co-create net new solutions.
