Legacy
Health
24. We call upon medical and nursing schools in Canada to require all students to take a course dealing with Aboriginal health issues, including the history and legacy of residential schools, the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, Treaties and Aboriginal rights, and Indigenous teachings and practices. This will require skills-based training in intercultural competency, conflict resolution, human rights, and anti-racism.
I know that some nursing programs include a cultural competency component, but I doubt they go into the depth this Call is requesting (in terms of history and legacy, the UN, Treaties etc...), and, as mentioned in the previous post, such training is not mandatory at this point.
