This course aims at developing an understanding of self as a provider in the Canadian health professions context and in relation to Canada’s indigenous peoples. It explores the foundations of professional nursing, relational practice, and therapeutic communication skills necessary for interacting with patients, families, and health care team members. This course would cover topics such as understanding culture, cultural stereotypes, communication styles, non-verbal communication, effective listening, cultural differences in healthcare, and building cultural competence. This course includes topics such as the historical context of indigenous peoples in Canada, traditional cultural beliefs and practices, the impact of colonization on indigenous health, how to communicate respectfully with indigenous patients and families, understanding the role of elders in indigenous communities, and the importance of cultural safety in healthcare. This course focuses on cultural awareness by facilitating International Educated Nurses (IENs) to recognize and understand Canadian expectations of patient advocacy before identifying possible challenges and obstacles that could impede their ability to fulfill those expectations. The course promotes reflection on personal perspectives and experiences to understand one’s own attitudes, beliefs, and values so they can adapt and develop an understanding of Canadian values, and ethical considerations in communication.
