What if there was a program that helped Native American students become health care professionals?
There is! Native American Health Sciences at WSU Spokane includes the Center for Native Health, Native pathway programs, and an Indigenous Health Perspectives Certificate offering.
In addition to helping the health science colleges recruit Native Americans entering the health care workforce, the program also promotes:
- Culturally embedding and teaching indigenous healing perspectives through newly developed curriculum and clinical education modalities to counterbalance western forms of medical and health education with traditional understandings and perspectives, toward equitable Indigenous patient care.
- Providing a space for tribal community health initiatives through our land-grant mission focused on planning, training, facilitation, support, and collaboration with tribal nation partners and affiliates.
A gift to the Native American Health Sciences Excellence Fund will aid in Native student academic success while providing a culturally holistic centered space for community engagement.
