Webinar: Walking together with humility - Experiences of a PT and MD providing care in remote Indigenous communities
On September 23, 2024, in the first webinar hosted by CHCPBC, family physician Dr. Rebekah Eatmon and physical therapist Robin Roots shared their experiences working as health care providers in remote First Nation communities. Through stories and casual discussion, they talked about their approach to delivering health care that meets patients/clients where they are at and focuses on relationship building that is trauma informed.

This discussion mirrored the collaboration between an Indigenous physician (Dr. Rebekah) and non-Indigenous ally (Robin) as they reflect on their practice and act as allies and agents of change toward equity.

The dialogue centred on the CHCPBC Indigenous Cultural Safety, Humility, and Anti-Racism Standard of Practice and ways in which it provides expectations for delivering health care in Indigenous communities and with Indigenous patients/clients. The discussion also highlighted ways to reconcile and redress the relationship between Indigenous peoples and health care professionals.
