Overview:
This webinar invites physicians in British Columbia to reflect on how cultural safety and anti-Indigenous racism intersect with everyday clinical practice. With a focus on practical application, the session explores how language, assumptions, and power dynamics can shape patient experiences—and how clinicians can take meaningful steps toward more respectful, patient-centered care for Indigenous patients and communities.
Grounded in Canadian commitments to truth, reconciliation, and equity in health care, the session emphasizes cultural safety as an ongoing practice of reflection, accountability, and relationship-building rather than a checklist. Participants will gain practical insights they can integrate into daily clinical interactions across a range of practice settings.
