Wellness and healing space for Indigenous physicians and learners – CMA
September 6, 2024
Indigenous learners and physicians who train and work in the Canadian medical system face unique challenges. This experience can be compounded by efforts made by different groups across Canada toward truth and reconciliation, which can be triggering and cause a range of feelings and emotions.
The following page contains a variety of resources available from coast to coast to coast that you can consider if you need help or would like to maintain your well-being. The resources included are applicable to Indigenous physicians and learners, as well as non-Indigenous physicians and learners who are working to support Indigenous physicians and learners in the health system. They serve as a reminder of the importance of self-care, connection and community. Everyone is different, and individuals may need different types of support at different times and for different situations. What is healing for one may not be healing for all.
