Check out this article from our Program Director, Dr Jamaica Cass in The Conversation! Learn about programs like ours across the country, with the common goal of making sure Indigenous students can succeed in health education, and ensuring communities benefit from culturally safe, long-term providers.

How Indigenous-led health education in remote communities can make reconciliation real When Indigenous communities shape how health professionals are trained, it’s a path toward trust, equity and a health system that finally reflects the people it serves.

Celebrating the important, innovative and inspiring work of two remarkable women! Congratulations Dr Lindsay Brant and Dr Jamaica Cass!!
