Aboriginal Health Issues Education for Health Professionals Overall Rank: 88
Inclusion of aboriginal health status and health issues in the undergraduate curriculum of faculties, residency training of family physicians and psychiatrists; and training of psychologists, social workers and other health care and health-related professionals. This may include integrating a traditional Aboriginal Elder to offer these training programs.

Summarized CommentsAdd Comment
  • * This is especially relevant and indispensable in those practice settings that have a large patient population from aboriginal communities. However curriculum should also include content on other cultures given the increasing number of the immigrant comm
  • * Perhaps these skills are best taught for MD’s in practice. It takes at least 5 years to develop confidence with ethnic groups as patients. Also these topics are better when presented as an adult learning venture.
  • * There would be a low level of actionability for individual PHC providers and practices, but a high level of actionability for educational institutions or potentially professional bodies.
  • We would need to compare outcomes between different training models e.g placement of professional trainees/ practicing clinicians in practices with a high ratio of different cultural groups vs. lectures in an educational institution
  • I agree, that immigrant health also needs to be included, both are very important but also very different. A focus on FN health needs to be retained
  • This is essential in SK - high rate of Aboriginal residents
