Cultural safety, cultural humility and anti-racism practice standard and accompanying resources

Practice standard

CPSBC’s practice standard clarifies the expectation for physicians and surgeons to provide culturally safe competent care, address inequities and create a more equitable and fair health-care system for Indigenous people.

This standard for Indigenous-specific racism is in direct response to the findings and recommendations of the In Plain Sight report. We recognize other racialized people experience inequities. Part of our ongoing work will address the harms experienced by other marginalized groups. The Access to Medical Care Without Discrimination practice standard speaks to racism and discrimination on a broader level, including its impact on other minority groups.
