ABRG6011Indigenous Health 3 ch
This course introduces the historical and contemporary forces affecting Indigenous health, and the cultural teachings and ceremonies that define wellness among this marginalized community. Students will build an understanding of Indigenous models of health and healing, community wellness and cultural safety to promote equitable health care practice and policy and explore tools for "Allyship".
Note, this course is offered as part of the MAHSR program, a partnership among 4 universities (UNB, UPEI, SMU, MUN). The course is approved by our partners. Dr. Julie Bull, an Indigenous person who is a graduate of the MAHSR program (UPEI) and the IDST program (UNB), developed the course and we have approached her about instructing it.
