Equity partners for Indigenous, rural and remote health
This project aims to foster knowledge sharing by recruiting, training and retaining health providers to serve and advocate for Indigenous, rural and remote communities. The University of Calgary (UCalgary) and institutional collaborators in Laos, Mongolia, Nepal, and the Philippines take part through virtual meetings, model site visits, and a multi-day workshop or symposium hosted by Patan Academy of Health Sciences (PAHS) in Nepal. This year-long project seeks to strengthen relationships and professional networks. It also aims to create new opportunities for co-research and co-learning. These topics include gender-inclusive and anti-racist approaches, Indigenous knowledge, recruitment and retention of remote or Indigenous health provider, and climate impacts on vulnerable groups. The project also aims to plan a visit to UCalgary for 3 to 4 co-leads from PAHS Nepal, a model site visit in rural Nepal for up to 30 participants, and a workshop or symposium in Nepal.
