IPAC derives its authority from the teachings of our ancestors, from the legitimacy of the history of our experiences, and from our communities and peoples. As an organization of contemporary medicine people, IPAC recognizes the health inequities of Indigenous people and communities who look to us for leadership and knowledge. We believe it is our responsibility and right to come together to help improve other Indigenous peoples’ physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health and to impact the determinants of Indigenous health.
Your IPAC membership is full of benefits! Come get involved in our initiatives, activities and meetings as we seek to advance the health of our nations, communities, families and individuals.
The IPAC Mentorship Circle connects Indigenous medical students, residents & physicians from coast to coast to coast where we share the spirit of medical education!
IPAC has gathered some external resources which may be helpful to our different memberships groups. In these pages you will find important information like resources on COVID-19, mental and emotional well-being, links to other Indigenous organizations, and various financial resources.
Join IPAC to share dinner followed by an evening of mentorship at your local medical school. You do not need to be a member to attend & we will gladly provide info on who we are at IPAC, what we do & how you can benefit from joining us. Connect with fellow Indigenous medical learners & physicians to grow your network & share the spirit of medical education.
We are happy to share appropriate job opportunities and committee postings with our membership!
Be the first to know about all of IPAC’s updates!
🎉 Our first mentorship event at @mcmasteru Michael G. DeGroote School of Medicine was incredible, and we had a blast connecting with everyone at @uoft Temerty Faculty of Medicine! 💬✨
