Truth and Reconciliation in Practice
Creating a culturally safe environment for Indigenous community members, health professionals and learners
A Bicentennial panel event organized by the听Indigenous Health Professions Program
During this timely discussion, our panel of Indigenous experts in a variety of health-related fields will explore the current context and why it is imperative that universities and health care institutions offer spaces where Indigenous patients, health professionals and students feel culturally safe. Sharing their own varied professional and personal experiences, they will reflect on what must change if we are to transform our institutions for the better, for everyone.
