Podcast host and emergency physician, Dr. Brian Goldman will be speaking about health care in Westman at a free public talk at Brandon University next weekend.
The public lecture will be part of BU’s homecoming events and Goldman, who is the host of two podcasts, “White Coat, Black Art” and “The Dose” will talk about BU’s plans to host a medical school on its campus.
“There’s an extreme shortage of physicians right across Canada. The most effective way to address that is to think locally. I’ll tell you why I believe Brandon University has an exciting idea to do just that,” Goldman said in a press release. “I’m really looking forward to my first visit to Brandon.”

In addition to a career as an emergency physician at Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto, Goldman is also a medical commentator who provided insights throughout the pandemic.
As host of two health-care podcasts, he shares the lessons he has learned in the field to benefit others — both in the health-care industry and organizations that could learn from high-stakes environments.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Dr. Goldman to deliver this year’s JRC Evans Public Lectureship and to talk about critical issues facing health care in our region, as well as strategies to tackle these issues,” Carla Eisler, director of advancement and alumni relations, and one of the organizers of BU’s homecoming, said in the release. “This is a topic that touches us all, and we expect an eager crowd.”
The talk is free and open to everyone, though the university encourages pre-registration as there are limited seats.
“When I hear ‘White Coat, Black Art’ on the radio, it’s always one of those shows where I know I might end up sitting in my driveway to make sure I catch the end. It’s gripping and informative, and I can’t wait to hear from Dr. Goldman in person,” BU president David Docherty said in the release. “Brandon University is working hard to bring physician education right here to Brandon … but we can’t do that without a great team — and that’s what Dr. Goldman will highlight.”
Earlier this year during the province’s budget announcements, funding was promised for training doctors in western Manitoba at an expanded science centre at BU.
BU also announced that it was gearing up for a significant transformation of its science facilities, with plans to extensively renovate the Brodie Science Centre and add a six-storey research annex building. This annex will house the medical school facility.
Goldman’s lecture will take place in the Lorne Watson Recital hall at the BU School of Music on Sept. 14 at 2 p.m. Register online at: https://www.brandonu.ca/homecoming/registration/.
