INT1895 - Indigenous Health Conference 2018

Program Description

This interdisciplinary conference is designed to help health care providers understand how Indigenous ways of knowing with respect to health and well-being can be utilized in health care approaches for Indigenous peoples.Through the call for abstracts, we will profile the work of our community partners who are involved in Indigenous Health throughout Canada.

Throughout the conference, selected abstracts from health care professionals, community partners and those involved in Indigenous Health will profile the work being done across Canada through posters, oral presentations and workshops. A job fair will help match health care providers with opportunities to work with Indigenous populations in rural and urban settings. IHC will also host a post-conference course on May 26, 2018 in collaboration with the David Suzuki Foundation on the impact of environmental issues on Indigenous Health. The Program will include topics such as mercury poisoning and how environmental contamination affects food security, Indigenous perspectives on the land, Indigenous consent and natural resource extraction.
