WCHRI is excited to introduce a focus on Indigenous health research—an area of growing importance and impact within our community.
What is Indigenous health research? What does it mean for the health and well-being of women, children, and families? Join us as we learn together through stories, community perspectives and research taking place across WCHRI and beyond. These events will highlight Indigenous-led and community-engaged research, share innovative approaches in both clinical and population health and explore the ethical, cultural, and social considerations that are essential to advancing Indigenous health in meaningful and respectful ways.
