engaging practice to improve Ottawa’s response to homelessness. *Our
Opening Keynote will be presented by Dr. Travis P. Baggett, MD* -- a
faculty clinician-investigator in the Massachusetts General Hospital, an
Assistant Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, and a staff
physician at the Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program. He is the
recipient of a career development award from the National Institute on Drug
Abuse of the National Institutes of Health in support of research to
understand and address tobacco use among homeless individuals. Dr.
Baggett's research focuses on the health of homeless people, with an
emphasis on addictive behaviors and their medical consequences in this
population. Read more here
