Feb 28: An Evening with Dr. Geoffrey Cohen

 OMA membership means that you are part of a unique group that makes up about 0.2% of Ontario’s population.

However, being a member of an organization does not necessarily mean that you feel a sense of belonging to that group.

What does it take to make that transformation?

Evidence is mounting that a sense of belonging can be as important for maintaining health as diet, exercise and sleep.

Many of our patients  manifest their lack of  a sense of belonging with physical and mental health complaints. Is there anything you as a clinician can do to address the root source of their problems?

You are invited to contemplate these questions by spending an evening exploring the science of belonging with Dr. Geoffrey L. Cohen, author of Belonging: The Science of Creating Connection and Bridging Divides .

Please join us to enjoy the feeling of belonging with colleagues at our next Doctors’ Lounge event.
