We were honoured to welcome participants to the recent Land Acknowledgment Workshop, an interactive EDI session exploring our individual and collective relationships to land and territory. Guided by Indigenous members of our Department, the workshop created a space for reflection, meaningful dialogue and shared learning.

Thank you to Alex McComber, Bear Clan Kanien’keha:ka from Kahnawake Territory, and Megan Légaré, of Kanien’keha:ka and European settler heritage, for leading this important conversation and helping deepen our understanding of land, place and reconciliation. 💛🧡


Nous avons eu l’honneur d’accueillir des participants à notre récent atelier sur la reconnaissance du territoire, une activité interactive en équité, diversité et inclusion (EDI) consacrée à l’exploration de nos relations individuelles et collectives à la terre. Guidé par des membres autochtones de notre Département, cet atelier a offert un espace propice à la réflexion, au dialogue enrichissant et à l’apprentissage partagé.

Nous remercions chaleureusement Alex McComber, Kanien’kehá:ka du clan de l’Ours du territoire de Kahnawà:ke, ainsi que Megan Légaré, de descendance Kanien’kehá:ka et eurodescendante, d’avoir animé cette importante conversation et contribué à approfondir notre compréhension de la terre, du territoire et de la réconciliation. 💛🧡

Que se passe-t-il lorsque la formation médicale dépasse les murs de la salle de classe pour s'ancrer au cœur d'une communauté? 🏥💙

L’étudiant en médecine de McGill, Aiman Abdul raconte comment un stage en Médecine de famille à Waskaganish, réalisé dans le cadre de notre Programme de formation médicale décentralisée, a transformé sa compréhension des soins aux patients, de la santé communautaire et de la richesse de l’apprentissage aux côtés des patients autochtones et des équipes locales de soins de santé.

"When an immigrant family struggles to navigate an unfamiliar healthcare system, we recognize how vulnerable it can be because we felt that disorientation ourselves,” says Dr. Dana A. Saleh.
