“When we help an infant or child, it’s a wonderful demonstration for a family of what international cooperation can do. It’s very powerful.”
— Dr. Arnold M. Noyek

CISEPO takes a strong stance against hate. We refuse the drumbeats of division, revisionism, and misinformation. On Holocaust Remembrance Day we remember the 6 million jewish souls murdered and others subject to genocide and persecution and resolve to never again let it happen to anyone anywhere, and recommit to doing the work to ensure that it doesn’t. Hatred and intolerence are global health issues.
Mabruk to our hard working, dedicated, and generally amazing midwives and community health workers for all passing their final observed structured clinical exam (OSCE) in the CISEPO and Juzoor pilot project to teach point of care ultrasound for use in remote and limited resource settings. This is the first time this imaging protocol has been taught to midwives or community health workers and has so much potential for improving care as part of a systems approach🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉👏👏👏👏👏

Thank you for supporting CISEPO`s impactful programs in 2022! We`re wrapping up our Community Mental Health Leadership Program for 2022 and will begin fresh in 2023 with a new expanded Mental Health program launch. We ended the year of this program with our sessions to support Ukrainian Mental Health for Ukrainian refugees in Canada and those working to support the Ukrainian community with psychosocial support in Canada. We ran the program in partnership with First Aid for the Soul and look forward to developing on this together. Get in touch with us at info@cisepo.ca, if our Community Mental Health Leadership Program is right for you and your team!

CISEPO hosted an intimate gathering this past week in Tel Aviv Yafo with IPEME (International Pediatric Emergency Medical Elective) alumni. Special guest Professor Leonard J. Marcus, Co-Director of the National Preparedness Leadership Initiative at Harvard University, joined us. Professor Lenny gave a talk titled “Meta-Leadership: The Ingenuity of Swarm Leadership.” It was the perfect chance to kickstart our alumni programming for 2023.
As Arnie would say, “Always moving forward!”

La fête du Canada est riche de sens et constitue un moment privilégié de réflexions et d`introspection sur la manière dont notre pays aborde son histoire coloniale, la décolonisation, l`indigénisation et la réconciliation, et sur la manière dont nous pouvons et devons faire mieux collectivement. Nous avons beaucoup à apprécier, mais aussi beaucoup de travail à faire. Cliquez ci-dessous pour découvrir des façons de célébrer la fête du Canada et de progresser vers le changement.
Happy Juneteenth! Canada has just as much a reason to celebrate Juneteenth as our American friends, even though our national historical narrative diverged. We have emancipation day on August 1st that celebrates the day in 1834 that the British abolished slavery but juneteenth is a completely different holiday and we have a role in doing more to ensure that Black lives matter does not end with a slogan or a moment of popular attention.
