Room Zurich D Baljit Kaur Khamba, ND, M.PH, Ed.DOpening KeynoteI am Baljit Kaur Khamba, ND, M.PH, Ed.D, a dedicated and passionate individual on a journey of personal and professional growth. Born and raised in Canada, I have always been driven by a deep curiosity about the world around me. I completed my naturopathic medical education at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine, where I developed a respect for integrative medicine. I've also recently completed a Doctor of Education in Community Leadership where I focused on mentorship of diverse naturopathic applicants to help make the field accessible to all. I've also completed a M.PH and B.Sc(Hon) focusing on mental health. My academic journey has been marked by numerous publications and research. Which I use to mentor other students publishing their research. With a commitment to continuous learning, I've set my sights on growing the cultural and ethnic diversity of naturopathic medicine, aiming to make a meaningful contribution to health support of historically marginalized groups. In this presentation we dive into topics covering diversity, equity and inclusion for naturopathic doctors and using that as a means to promote the growth of the profession through mentorship. Naturopathic medicine is a system of medicine which is familiar to many historically marginalized groups, however, largely remains inaccessible. Therefore, by engaging in mentorship within the educational institutions, as well as with local naturopathic doctors, we can help create with the continued growth of the profession.
