Physician and medical learner wellbeing remains a critical issue in academic medicine. The Culture of Academic Medicine Initiative (CAMi) is a pan-Canadian effort to foster inclusive, health-promoting environments by supporting faculties in adopting the Okanagan Charter.

Using Kotter's change model, CAMi builds national collaboration grounded in equity, belonging, Indigenous reconciliation, and sustainability. It emphasizes the learning environment as a key lever for change.

CAMi has cultivated a national network, developed shared tools like the Implementation and Audit Tool, launched the Wellbeing Matters webinar series, and created an accessible online resource hub.

Future efforts focus on scaling sustainability, establishing an academic consortium, and implementing standardized evaluation frameworks to drive lasting cultural change.
