This session will offer both practical insights and s cholarly perspectives on the role of character in health professions leade rship. It will examine key challenges\, consider new approaches to leaders hip development\, and invite reflection on the opportunities and complexit ies of integrating character education into healthcare training and practi ce.\n DTSTART:20250424T130000Z DTEND:20250424T150000Z SUMMARY:IHSE MEETING URL:/centre-montreal/channels/event/ihse-meeting-36402 6 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
