Part 2: Indigenous Health & Wellness: Terminology, Practical Tips, & Resources

In Talk #1, Dr Randi George shared her journey to, through, and within medicine as an Indigenous person: what led her to medicine, her experiences thus far, where she is going… & where she hopes we all go.  The goal of Talk #2, is to provide practical information & suggestions for working with the Indigenous community, including the following:

1. Indigenous terminology that you should be aware of as a Physician

2. What is Status & why should we as Health Care Providers know if our Patient has it

3. Colonialism: its history in Medicine & how this can affect Survivors & their descendants

4. Key Findings from the In Plain Sight Report: Addressing Indigenous-specific Racism & Discrimination in BC Health Care

5. Practical Tips for Health Care Providers working with Indigenous Patients
