Curriculum will address health-care challenges Indigenous communities face and help increase representation of Indigenous peoples in health-care
A northern Ontario health organization and a university say they are developing a culturally-informed program that will prepare Indigenous youth for careers in health-care.
The Weeneebayko Area Health Authority says the initiative will help increase the capacity for culturally-safe health care that is directed and delivered by professionals from the communities it serves. Queen's University, which is co-developing the program, says the curriculum will address health-care challenges Indigenous communities face and help increase representation of Indigenous peoples in health-care.
"This project builds on a long-standing relationship between Queen’s, the Weeneebayko Area Health Authority, and the communities of the James Bay region," said Sinclair.
