Jennifer Wilson, a lecturer in the Temerty Faculty of Medicine's department of family and community medicine, and Princess Acheampong, a lecturer at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) in Ghana, have been held during the 2024 Family Medicine Forum in Vancouver.
The competition recognizes concepts that have the potential to make a difference in clinical practice, faculty development, education, patient care and outcomes and health policy.
Wilson and Acheampong were recognized for their presentation, "Equity-focused global health partnerships can transform health systems." The idea was born out of the department of family and community medicine's collaboration with KNUST, for which Wilson is the U of T faculty lead. The collaboration is part of the Africa Health Collaborative, an initiative that brings together U of T, leading African universities and the Mastercard Foundation.
The award-winning presentation was supported by U of T's Jamie Rodas and Katherine Rouleau, KNUST's Ellis Owusu-Dabo and Kofi Akohene Mensah, and University College Dublin alum Olivia Wilson.
