Apology and Statement

Apology and Statement on Indigenous-Specific Racism

Indigenous-specific racism continues to exist in the medical profession resulting in harm to Indigenous People. Racism, like many social determinants of health, harms health outcomes. We recognize that CPSM has fallen short in regulating Indigenous-specific racism in the medical profession. We must now acknowledge this racism exists, cite specific failures, apologize, and express our commitment to change.
