Physicians, Pharmacists and Health Care Professionals are invited to gain appreciation and an understanding of Indigenous Traditional Medicines and Healing and become a collaborator with the Indigenous Health Teams at SJCG and TBRHSC. By doing so, honouring the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Call to Action:

“We call upon those who can effect change within the Canadian health-care system to recognize the value of Aboriginal healing practices and use them in the treatment of Aboriginal patients in collaboration with Aboriginal healers and Elders where requested by Aboriginal patients.”

Join Elder Ron Linklater on Wednesday, December 6 from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. to learn about Traditional Medicine and Healing.

Learners will be able to identify:

• The importance and scope of Indigenous medicines and culturally safe practices as a key component of their health care experience
• Means to access Indigenous Healing knowledge and work with the Indigenous team to best incorporate it into patient centered care plans and improve communication among team members
• Ways to increase frequency and effectiveness of referrals to N’Doo’Owe Binesi (Indigenous Health Team) at SJCG
