Diversity and development of Indigenous rehabilitation professional student identity.

Background: In Canada, disparities between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Peoples continue to exist in health and education because of the past and current harms of racism and colonization. One step towards closing health gaps is clinicians who can provide health and social care services that are free of racism and mistrust. Indigenous health providers are in the best position to provide this culturally relevant and safe care to their own communities.

Introduction: Racism exists in the healthcare system and is a root cause of health inequities among Indigenous Peoples. When microaggressions of racism are carried out by healthcare providers, therapeutic trust may be broken and quality of care may be impacted. Anti-racism response training is considered best practice in recognizing and addressing racism.
