CULTURAL SAFETY

All Enhanced Skills residents participate in a mandatory three-hour cultural safety training session offered by First Light, a local non-governmental organization (NGO) that provides social support to local urban Indigenous and non-Indigenous people in St John鈥檚. 

At the start of their residency, CUP residents must also complete the CPSNL Module 鈥淧roviding Culturally Safe Health Care to Indigenous Patients in Newfoundland and Labrador鈥. In addition, assigned readings and online material on Indigenous health are provided for the resident during the CUP orientation. The resident is expected to review this material. Prior to leaving for Labrador, CUP residents ideally meet with the Coordinator of Indigenous Health Initiative at the Faculty of Medicine at 糖心视频, and when available, the St. John鈥檚-based Indigenous Patient Navigators.

While in Labrador, our resident also engages in different cultural safety training experiences depending on their availability, as offered by the different Indigenous groups they are working with at the time of their rotation. 

Finally, residents complete a one-hour module by TransCare BC prior to working in Dr. Mari-Lynne Sinnott鈥檚 Gender Affirming Care Clinic.
