A Two-Eyed Seeing Framework for Building Indigenous Health Courses in Pharmacy

However, there is a paucity of literature on how to respectfully Indigenize health curricula. The purpose of this project was to develop a framework of better practices for both mandatory lecture-based and elective community-based courses.

A Two-Eyed Seeing Model, incorporating both Indigenous and Western methodologies, was utilized to ensure the framework created was Indigenous-driven, evidence-based, and reciprocal. This process involved respectful collaboration with Indigenous partners and employed two methods: 1) a comprehensive literature review on better practices around Indigenous health course design from health programs across Canada, the US, Australia, and New Zealand, and 2) engagement with an Indigenous Advisory Committee (IAC) for their unique perspectives on key standards for course design.
