On the Land Cultural Safety Learning – TRANSFORM HF

Led by Dr. Angela Mashford-Pringle, this three-day land-based course will provide University of Toronto faculty with the opportunity to learn from Indigenous Elders, Knowledge Keepers, and Indigenous peoples with lived experience of heart failure.

Topics to be covered include, but are not limited to, the 3Ps (power, privilege, and positionality), the continuum of cultural safety, and the importance of active listening and self-reflection. Dr. Mashford-Pringle will also introduce and discuss historic and contemporary issues that underpin anti-Indigenous racism in healthcare.

This is a unique opportunity to join other faculty as well as clinicians and trainees in:

• Gaining the knowledge and confidence to become reciprocal and meaningful advocates for and allies to Indigenous Peoples in Canada

• Exploring how to apply a lens of cultural safety to your work

• Learning how to shift to a two-eyed seeing approach in order to broaden perspectives
