Indigenous Healthcare Education and Practice: Applying Digital Teaching and Learning Resources to the TRC’s Calls to Action

A Community-Led and Community-Informed Collaborative Initiative

Guided by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada’s (TRC) Calls to Action on healthcare education and drawing on notions of cultural safety, decolonization, Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Indigeneity (EDII), the aim of this project was to create an interactive digital collection that translates the TRC’s Calls to Action into strategies that can be implemented in meaningful, accessible, practical, and culturally appropriate ways within healthcare education and practice. The educational resource is designed for healthcare learners to provide them with strategies for applying the content in their educational study and future healthcare practice.

The seven themes of this work include:

The resources include seven online modules, seven pieces of Indigenous artwork that relate to the seven themes, and supplementary material which includes a glossary of terms and digital resources.
