What it does
The objective of the Health Human Resources Program is to increase the number of First Nations, Inuit and Métis workers in the health care field at large, and to increase the number of qualified individuals working in health care delivery in First Nations and Inuit communities. The Program is delivered through two streams. The first stream provides scholarships and bursaries for Indigenous students pursuing health careers. The second stream provides training and certification for community-based workers, including health managers, to improve the quality and consistency of health care services in First Nations and Inuit communities. The Program engages the following stakeholders: federal, provincial/territorial governments; health professional organizations; National Indigenous Organisations; non-governmental organizations / associations; and, educational institutions. For example, scholarships and bursaries are provided through a contribution agreement with INDSPIRE, and the training stream is managed at the regional level, which may involve Indigenous organizations.
