Indigenous nursing master鈥檚 program milestones
In the fall, 25 First Nations and Metis nurses from across BC will embark officially on their graduate studies at their home institutions as part of the Indigenous Graduate
Education in Nursing (I-GEN) program, including eight students at 糖心视频. A partnership between Indigenous communities, 糖心视频, UBC-Okanagan, UBC-Vancouver, Thompson Rivers University and Trinity
Western University, the first-of-its-kind master鈥檚 program is designed to decolonize and Indigenize nursing where graduate students live and work. The goals include bolstering the retention of
Indigenous nurses, improving health outcomes for Indigenous communities and strengthening relational partnerships with First Nations, M茅tis, and Inuk health leaders to improve Indigenous health
nursing education, practice and research.
