Queer in Medicine Interest Group Presents: A Community Conversation on 2SLGBTQ+
Healthcare
Join the Queer in Medicine Interest Group at the Northern Ontario School of Medicine
University (NOSMU) in Sudbury for a community meetup! This event will bring together
2SLGBTQ+ community members and NOSMU medical students for discussions about inclusive
healthcare.

• Location: Main Public Library, 74 Mackenzie Street, Sudbury
• Date: May 26th, 2025, from 6 pm to 8 pm
• In-person event

Attendees can submit anonymous questions in advance—either for medical students or fellow
community members—to guide the discussion on affirming and responsive care for 2SLGBTQ+
patients in the North. Facilitated by Cynthia Larche and Chelsey Pilon, this conversation will
address these questions in a safe space. Together, we will discuss challenges and envision
improved healthcare practices.

We also want to hear from you! Our submission form will be available before, during, and after
the event to collect community feedback on the medical experiences of 2SLGBTQ+ individuals
in Northern Ontario. Your input will shape future training at NOSMU and advocate for
meaningful changes in healthcare education. This is a unique opportunity to make your voice
heard, connect with community members, and help create a more inclusive healthcare system.
Local organizations, including Fierté Sudbury Pride and Réseau ACCES Network, will be on-site
to share information about their services. For more information or to support this event, please
