11 Jun First Nations, Mi’kmaq-led Research Leads to Cultural Safety Curriculum for Clinicians
The ACHH Initiative is excited to announce it has created an Indigenous-led innovative cultural safety curriculum relevant for health clinicians. The six modules are informed by research with several First Nations communities in Mi’kma’ki and a partnership with Tajikeimɨk, Dalhousie University and IWK Health. This project will invite 375 health clinicians from IWK, NSH and Mi’kmaw community health settings in Nova Scotia to participate in a six-module cultural safety course with the plan to roll out more broadly across the province.
