Enhancing Cultural Safety and Indigenous Health Equity (CSIH 1015)
This course builds upon knowledge and skills gained in the Introduction to Cultural Safety and Indigenous Holistic Health Equity. Through online modules, students further explore the TRC Calls to Action, historical context and contemporary impact of colonization on health and health equity of the Indigenous peoples of Canada, with a focus on the local host nations of Vancouver: xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. Students will develop a personal action plan that demonstrates reflection on systemic and personal stereotypes and biases, integration of Cultural Humility and Safety practices, and a commitment to reducing inequities and disparities experienced by Indigenous peoples.
