Our Partners

Our partners play a key role in working with us to advance Indigenous health and health equity. Thanks to their support, we are able to significantly impact and encourage more Indigenous student applications, collaborate with Indigenous communities to develop new programming, and create learning opportunities that are culturally safe and provide a greater scope of practice and training.
Our community partners are:
- IPAC (Indigneous Physicians Association of Canada)
As Indigenous people who are diversely rooted in our ancestry and our relationships with the natural world/our homelands, and who have also had the privilege of medical training, it is our collective intent to collaboratively use our skills, abilities and experiences to improve the health (broadly defined) of our nations, communities, families and selves. - NCIME (National Consortium for Indigenous Medical Education)
With the leadership and support of the NCIME, national medical education organizations are fulfilling their responsibilities to respond to the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action, and the Inquiry on Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls in Indigenous Medical Education through:- Supporting Indigenous leadership;
- Aligning and collaborating on strategic priorities; and,
- Maximizing available resources.
- NIHSC (National Indigenous Health Sciences Circle)
