About Vital Talks
Vital Talks is a national seminar series spotlighting the science shaping better care for women in Canada. Each event brings together leading researchers, clinicians, and people with lived experience to translate credible evidence into clear guidance for patients, providers, and policymakers. Sessions focus on what the evidence shows (and what it doesn’t), practical steps women can take now, and the system changes needed to close gaps in diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes.
