Racism is a significant problem that Indigenous patients, including Métis patients, face in the emergency department.
In partnership with the Otipemisiwak Métis Government of the Métis Nation within Alberta (MNA), this research aims to investigate racism and experiences of quality of care of Métis patients in emergency departments in Alberta. This project will help address racism in the emergency department and will further inform initiatives needed to ensure equitable access to the healthcare system.
This project is funded and co-led by the MNA and will respect principles of Métis Research ethics as provided by the MNA and Tri-Council Policy for Research with Indigenous peoples, and the Métis Centre of the National Aboriginal Health Organization.
