As Indigenous knowledges and biomedicine come together in healthcare today, to improve health outcomes and strengthen cultural identity among Indigenous Peoples, it is vital for physicians to learn about this convergence during their training. This narrative review article aims to provide practical advice for educators when implementing teaching regarding this topic, using examples from the research literature, and pedagogical and practice-based methods used at the University of Toronto (UofT). The methodology on obtaining the research literature included a search of a computer database called Medline. Moreover, the medical school curriculum information specific to UofT, was obtained through the formal curriculum map and UofT's Office of Indigenous Medical Education. The following six recommendations provide a way to successfully implement the teachings on Indigenous knowledges and biomedicine, within a culturally-safe Indigenous health curriculum.
在当今的医疗保健领域,随着本土知识与生物医学相结合,以改善健康状况并增强原住民的文化认同感,医生在培训期间了解这种融合至关重要。这篇叙述性综述文章旨在为教育工作者在实施关于该主题的教学时提供实用建议,文中使用了研究文献中的示例,以及多伦多大学(UofT)所采用的基于教学法和实践的方法。获取研究文献的方法包括搜索一个名为Medline的计算机数据库。此外,通过正式的课程地图和多伦多大学本土医学教育办公室,获取了该校医学院特定的课程信息。以下六项建议为在文化安全的本土健康课程中成功实施关于本土知识和生物医学的教学提供了一种途径。
