Speaker: Dr. Ojistoh Horn

Ojistoh Kahnawahere Horn is a Haudenosaunee family physician whose mother is from Kahnawake and father is from Akwesasne. Providing full spectrum care to her people has been rewarding, challenging, and very thought provoking. She also supervises and teaches students and family medicine residents from Queens, McGill and the University of Ottawa’s medical schools. Her wide interests include environmental determinants of health and holistic approaches to providing primary care to indigenous communities.

At the end of this session, participants will be able:

1) Articulate the unique reality of indigenous physicians working in their own community

2) Illustrate how the infrastructure in indigenous communities is incapable of supporting effective primary care

3) Emphasize that those with specialized expertise, including traditional medicine practitioners, must be engaged in every phase of the design and implementation of primary health care on reserve

The HHC Series is a multi-disciplinary forum for practicing healthcare professionals to share lived experiences through story-telling and facilitated discussion. A diverse group of speakers will be invited to discuss frontline personal stories of triumph, struggle, reflection, sorrow, and joy with the participating audience as a means to create a community of shared vulnerability and connectivity. The series is intended to be inclusive of all practicing healthcare professionals and learners along the training continuum and will actively seek out participation from hospital, community, and regional partners.

The 3 overarching aims are:

Create a space for important conversations to highlight the collective humanity that brings meaning and challenge to our work as healthcare providers.
Promote a shared and inclusive model for continuing professional development within our healthcare setting that prioritizes health of the care team.
Recognize and reflect on the structures of health care systems and academic institutions to build diverse, equitable and inclusive health care teams.
