What role will mRNA technology play in the future of Canadian healthcare?: A documentary screening and panel discussion for the health care community

As misinformation, polarization, and political partisanship around mRNA technologies intensify, how can healthcare professionals navigate discussing mRNA vaccines and immunotherapies that are poised to transform how we prevent and treat diseases in Canada?

CIC registrants are invited to an exclusive screening of The Messenger, a documentary tracing the origin story of mRNA technology, a 30-year journey from discovery to a critical role during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The screening will be followed by a panel moderated by Andre Picard, health reporter and columnist for The Globe and Mail. Panellists will demystify recent advances in mRNA science, examine barriers to RNA-based medicines—including public trust—and share strategies to support healthcare providers communicate effectively with patients.
