Indigenous Health Conference


Digby Pines Resort, Nova Scotia
May 2 - May 4, 2025

The Department of Family Medicine is pleased to be hosting a Faculty Development conference 'Ekina'masulti'kk aqq Nepilsulti'k: Educate and Heal Ourselves'.

We are excited to have many Indigenous speakers to guide us in our own learning as we prepare to coach our medical students and residents in their training. Topics will include exploring Indigenous self-determination in health and wellness, incorporating Mi'kmaq tradition and culture into primary care, food sovereignty, and addressing overt discriminations and microaggressions. Speakers and workshops will be circulated as they are confirmed.

If you are planning on attending this event, please note that a block of guest rooms is being held until March 31 at the Digby Pines Resort. The information to book your accommodations is below. Please note the conference registration form is separate from the hotel accommodations process.
