The Indigenous Health Professions Program (IHPP) brings together all schools in the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences plus other schools and faculties at McGill with an overall goal of improving the health of Indigenous peoples in Canada. By recruiting and training more Indigenous health care professionals and by teaching all health professionals about the unique health aspects regarding Indigenous peoples, we feel this can make a lasting difference. The IHPP has been developed through consultation and collaboration with Indigenous communities in Quebec, leaders of successful Indigenous health programs at other Canadian universities, as well as other McGill departments, committees and programs.
