Overview

UBC CPD recognizes the responsibility to support reconciliation with First Nations, Inuit and Métis people, advance anti-racism and improve the experiences of Indigenous peoples when interacting with the health-care system.  

To address the need for access to education, resources and practice tools for physicians in BC communities, UBC CPD has established a relationship with the Indigenous Specific Anti-Racism (ISAR) and Cultural Safety Team at Doctors of BC to deliver education to health professionals through a series of webinars.

These webinars will provide health professionals with practice-relevant education on Indigenous specific anti-racism and cultural safety topics.

Supporting physicians and patients

With approval and guidance from the Joint Collaborative Committee (JCC) Cultural Safety Steering Committee, the ISAR and Cultural Safety team identifies topics based on aggregated feedback collected from physicians, staff and steering committee members.  

These webinars will serve as a resource on the UBC CPD and JCC websites for physicians and health professionals who are committed to providing culturally safe care.

Education delivery

UBC CPD offers 90-minute live, virtual sessions that are interactive and accessible from both computers and mobile devices. Participants are encouraged to submit questions in advance or ask them during the session.
