Description

​The purpose of this course is to give pediatric health professionals an opportunity to understand their role in improving the health status and quality of care provided to Indigenous children and youth. The course will describe the impact of health inequities, historical trauma and social determinants of health (e.g., language, racism, poverty, cultural identity, etc.) on the health of Indigenous children and youth, which often result in health disparities both in childhood and as they grow older. Clinicians caring for this population are often unaware of these factors, which poses a challenge in their practices. Those who participate in this course will learn how to cultivate a culturally safe and effective healthcare environment for their Indigenous patients and their families.

​Learning Objectives

  • Explain how social determinants of health—including language, cultural identity, and self-determination—impact the lives and health outcomes of Indigenous children and adolescents.
  • Identify how anti-Indigenous racism—both personal and systemic—affects clinical interactions Indigenous patients and their families.
  • Describe the characteristics of culturally safe care and how it benefits Indigenous patients and families.
  • Identify strategies for supporting the role of traditional health and healing practices in Indigenous communities.
  • Engage new networks to share best practices and learn from community-based initiatives.
