Home 5 News 5 Walking together (with humility): Experiences of a PT and MD providing care in remote Indigenous communities

September 13, 2024

Event details:

Monday, September 23
12:00 p.m. – 1:30 p.m.

We invite all registrants to the first webinar hosted by the College of Health and Care Professionals of BC

Family physician Dr. Rebekah Eatmon and physical therapist Robin Roots will share their experiences working as health care providers in remote First Nation communities. Through stories and casual discussion, they will talk 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 aims to mirror 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.

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

If you are a registrant of CHCPBC, please check your email for an invitation to register for this webinar.

This learning opportunity is provided by the College of Health and Care Professionals of BC to support registrants in the delivery of culturally safe and anti-racist care to Indigenous patients and clients that meets the expectations within the Indigenous Cultural Safety, Humility and Anti-Racism Practice Standard.
