Description:
In this Indigenous Health episode of "Around the Rheum," our host Dr Daniel Ennis hands the mics to colleagues Dr. Brent Ohata of UBC and Dr. Cheryl Barnabe of the University of Calgary.
In this smart, thoughtful conversation, Brent and Cheryl talk about Cheryl's experiences working in and with Indigenous communities, how she has learned to adapt how she practices to achieve better outcomes, the importance of outreach to Indigenous patients, the ongoing impact of systemic racism in health care and ways to overcome that, and her approaches to win the trust of Indigenous patients.
