Who We Are
Welcome to Threads: A Cultural Mosaic. We are an innovative and vibrant initiative born out of the University of Toronto’s medical student community by Aljeena Qureshi and Layan Elfaki. Threads stands as a beacon of diversity, inclusivity, and global health awareness, embodying the spirit of cultural celebration and sustainable fashion.
Our mission
Threads is dedicated to weaving together the diverse tapestries of cultures that enrich our medical community. Our mission is to foster an environment where medical students, faculty, and professionals can express their unique cultural identities, engage in meaningful dialogue about global health issues, and advocate for sustainable practices. We aim to illuminate the importance of cultural competence in healthcare, preparing future medical practitioners to serve a diverse patient population with empathy and understanding.
​
We envision a medical community that values and celebrates diversity in all its forms. Through our annual event, Threads: A Cultural Mosaic, we strive to showcase the richness of cultures represented in the medical field, promoting a deeper understanding and appreciation of global health perspectives. Our vision extends beyond the University of Toronto, with aspirations to inspire similar initiatives across medical schools in Canada, fostering a nationwide movement towards a more inclusive and globally conscious healthcare system.
