Dr. Tracy Gaudet MD. (The True Transformation of Healthcare Shifting from Disease Based to Purpose Driven Aligning with the Integrated Value of Massage Therapy and Future Opportunities) #CMTA2024

One of the best, best, presentations I have ever been privileged to witness. And I’ve been at a lot of conferences. At once revolutionary and “obvious”. How has medicine got so far off track? That really, really, really focusing on what’s important to patients is revolutionary.

The last presentation of the conference was an inspiring one by Dr. Tracy Gaudet, co-founder of a new organization called the Cornerstone Collaboration for Societal Change. #cmta2024

Wrapping up #CMTA2024 with a panel discussion with - Monty Churchman, CSMTA Moderator - Garry Lavis, Massage & Myotherapy Australia - Christian Vulpe, Canadian Massage Therapy Council for Accreditation - Brandy John, Canadian Council of Massage Therapy Schools - Tricia Weidenbacher, CMTA

Shoutout to the RMTBC for hosting an inspiring conference! One concept emerged - There is no one singular fix for complex problems (professional growth, healthcare, social change, etc.). However through a process of continuous improvement big changes are possible! #CMTA2024
