 sure to adapt to evolving population needs\, including population ageing a
 nd the growing number of socially vulnerable groups. These challenges call
  not only for more effective collaborative models of care\, but also for s
 tronger attention to the structural determinants of health that shape ineq
 uities in access and outcomes. Equity-Promoting Integrated Care (EPIC) off
 ers a transformative approach by intentionally embedding equity objectives
  within the design\, governance\, and delivery of integrated care models. 
 This seminar examines how policy supports\, organizational arrangements\, 
 and frontline practices can be aligned to strengthen collaboration and red
 uce disparities. Drawing on policy analysis and practice-based evidence\, 
 it illustrates how equity can be operationalized across macro-\, meso-\, a
 nd micro-levels of health systems.\n\n	Learning Objectives\n\n	At the end of
  this talk\, attendees will be able to:\n\n	\n		\n			Describe key system pressur
 es (population ageing and social vulnerability) driving the need for equit
 y-promoting integrated care\;\n		\n		\n			Apply various theoretical approaches to
  examining health systems challenges to achieving EPIC\;\n		\n		\n			Identifying 
 actionable strategies for supporting and advancing EPIC models of care.\n

  a health services and policy researcher\, his work focuses on understandi
 ng how health systems adapt to advance integrated and equity-promoting car
 e. Using qualitative and mixed-methods approaches\, he examines the policy
