Clinical training within an Indigenous community: a qualitative description of pediatric residents' learning experiences.

Calls to action from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada and the Indigenous Physicians Association of Canada have highlighted the need for medical professionals to better understand these inequities and improve the provision of culturally safe services through collaboration between Indigenous communities and medical residency programs. There are currently no published evaluations of clinical training for Canadian medical residents within Indigenous communities.
