Responsabilité sociale :

During the AFMC activities focused on Indigenous Health at the Board meeting over the period of CCME, April 28 to May 3, 2017, in Winnipeg, Manitoba, it was recommended that a Network on Indigenous Health be created. This network has the mandate to:

(a) Function as a collegium to provide topic specific support across the Faculties, namely:

1. A review and refresh of AFMC-IPAC competencies and curricula in indigenous health;
2. A review of the Faculties of Medicine responses to the Calls to Action of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission; and
3. A position paper on the Role of the Medical Schools and their Social Accountability in addressing Indigenous Health issues in Canada.

(b) Provide a venue for forums for discussions of national interest;

(c) Share knowledge and experience among Leaders across Faculties of Medicine, and with AFMC Committees as requested.

Dr. Marcia Anderson from the University of Manitoba is the inaugural chair of the network.
