The need for care is far greater than current capacity, and this disparity is far greater for some groups than others. In this session participants will discuss together the access-to-care implications of specific situations and choices in balancing costs and demands of clinical practice, explore options for optimizing balance, and foster a tolerance for ambiguity and the understanding that there may be no single ideal solution to each challenge. We will attend to access to care inequities in a variety of domains. Registration is limited to the first 15 members registered.
