There have been increasing calls for cultural safety training in recent years, but it is not a new concept. We outline the developmental process used to create an intensive online Indigenous cultural safety training led by Indigenous Peoples. We describe the process and framework developed with the Indigenous Content Committee for creating this online program that includes 24 hours of content, and the final course structure and administration. The objective of the cultural safety course was to address systemic anti-Indigenous racism with a focus on improving culturally sensitive communication, effective collaboration, and respectful community engagement among students, staff and faculty in medicine, nursing, social work, public health, and education. Evaluations of the course outcomes have been reported in detail elsewhere, but the course was positively received and participants demonstrated increased knowledge, understanding, and feelings of responsibility. The course design that resulted from this process was reported to be impactful on participants personally and academically, but it must be recognized that cultural safety is a lifelong journey and should not end here.
近年来，对文化安全培训的呼声越来越高，但这并不是一个新概念。我们概述了由原住民主导创建强化在线原住民文化安全培训所采用的开发过程。我们描述了与原住民内容委员会共同制定的用于创建这个包含24小时内容的在线项目的过程和框架，以及最终的课程结构和管理方式。文化安全课程的目标是解决系统性的反原住民种族主义问题，重点是改善医学、护理、社会工作、公共卫生和教育领域的学生、工作人员和教师之间具有文化敏感性的沟通、有效的协作以及相互尊重的社区参与。该课程成果的评估已在其他地方详细报道过，但该课程受到了积极评价，参与者展现出知识、理解和责任感的提升。据报道，这个过程产生的课程设计对参与者的个人和学术方面都有影响，但必须认识到文化安全是一段终身旅程，不应就此结束。
