Allyship and Upstanding: Interrupting Indigenous-Specific Racism in Health Care

May 14 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm

Healthcare professionals play a critical role in addressing the systemic racism that affects Indigenous patients and communities. This webinar is for those who are beginning their journey as allies or navigating steps forward in their ongoing commitment to upstanding. Through shared experiences and insights from a panel of allies, participants will leave with an understanding on how even small actions can contribute to creating a more inclusive, respectful healthcare experience for Indigenous people and communities, as well as practical actions they can take to interrupt racism in real-time.

Skills Gained
  • Describe the impact of Indigenous-specific racism in healthcare and the role of healthcare professionals in addressing these systemic issues.
  • Identify actionable steps for interrupting racism and fostering respectful, inclusive interactions with Indigenous patients.
  • Reflect on personal positionality and develop a deeper commitment to allyship, incorporating lessons from the panel into practice.
