About
MNBC’s Ministry of Health has developed a Métis cultural wellness course for healthcare professionals, titled Miyo-Pimâtisowin. This course is delivered by MNBC and is accredited by UBC Continuing Professional Development (UBC CPD).
Miyo-pimâtisowin means “to live a good life.” This workshop invites participants to learn about Métis cultural wellness, traditional knowledge, the impacts of colonialism on health outcomes, and approaches to culturally-grounded Métis-specific care. Through stories, discussion, and reflection, participants will gain practical insight into how to support Métis patients, families, and communities with respect, recognition, and relational accountability.
