As part of its social accountability mandate, AFMC seeks to improve the health and well-being of Indigenous people by ensuring Canadian medical schools respond to the Calls to Action of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, by training more Indigenous health professionals and by committing to develop safe working and learning environments for Indigenous learners, faculty and staff.
The Joint Commitment to Action on Indigenous Health Report provides a roadmap for concrete institutional change that will best enable Canadian medical schools to respond to the TRC Calls to Action and fulfill their social accountability mandates with respect to Indigenous health.
The Joint Commitment to Action on Indigenous Health Update Report identifies the progress Faculties of Medicine have made in implementing the 10 JCAIH report recommendations as well as the level of resources dedicated in support.
The Joint Commitment to Action on Indigenous Health 2020 Review is a summary and compilation of the Joint Commitment to Action on Indigenous Health Update Report.
The Report on Indigenous Health Activities provides a summary of the AFMC activities at the April 2017 Board Meeting in Winnipeg and themes of its work at the Canadian Conference on Medical Education (CCME) in the broad context in which Indigenous communities, health practitioners, policymakers, educators and partners participated at an open Board session and AFMC sponsored plenaries.
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:
(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.
