In 2019, the College’s Board of Directors made an Indigenous cultural competency and safety commitment. As part of this, the College committed to sharing resources with pharmacists and pharmacy technicians that would help them enhance the health and well-being of Indigenous peoples living in Ontario.
The new Resources for Pharmacy Professionals to Support Indigenous Cultural Competency webpage provides links to a number of free resources that explore Indigenous identity and history, truth and reconciliation and culturally competent healthcare. Registrants are encouraged to take the time to review the resources that are most relevant to their practice.
These resources have been curated from a variety of sources, including government websites, healthcare organizations, advocacy bodies and Indigenous-led organizations. Additional resources will continue to be added to this page, so you are encouraged to check back regularly. If you know of any resources that the College should consider including in this list, please email communications@ocpinfo.com.
