Indigenous Curriculum Resources

The NCIME Catalogue by the National Consortium for Indigenous Medical Education (NCIME) is a comprehensive resource that supports Indigenous medical education in Canada. It includes wise practices in Indigenous medical learner recruitment, admissions, and transitions, with a focus on cultural safety assessment criteria and procedures. The catalogue also features frameworks for data collection, anti-racism policies, curriculum development, Indigenous faculty recruitment, and physician wellness.

This supplement is a resource for undergraduate, postgraduate, and continuing medical education with potential to assist with program design, curriculum content, learning methods, and learner assessment. The competencies presented here support the foundation for family physicians, medical trainees, and educators to better engage in care that authentically respects Indigenous peoples and their cultural, historical, political, and social contexts. This ultimately leads to culturally safe and improved quality of health care to Indigenous populations 

The information in this compendium is designed to demonstrate and acknowledge the culturally unsafe care that exists throughout the health care system and provide learning points to broaden the foundation of knowledge for family physicians, medical trainees, and educators to better engage in care that authentically respects Indigenous peoples’ right to health justice that considers their cultural, historical, political, and social contexts.
