Athabasca University has launched a free, massive online open course (MOOC) to tackle anti-Indigenous racism in health care.

This free learning opportunity provides essential knowledge for healthcare professionals, and also for anyone who wants to understand the struggles of Indigenous communities and learn how to recognize and confront systemic racism.
Learners will deepen their understanding of anti-Indigenous racism in healthcare, allyship, and wellness with topics including,

Athabasca developed the courses with financial support from Health Canada and in response to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada’s 94 Calls to Action. A team led by Indigenous leaders and health professionals worked together to create the course content.
