About Us

The National Circle for Indigenous Medical Education (NCIME) is a partnership between the Indigenous Physicians Association of Canada, the Association of Faculties of Medicine of Canada, the College of Family Physicians of Canada, the Medical Council of Canada and the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. The NCIME was formed to implement Indigenous-led work streams that will transform Indigenous medical education and contribute to the delivery of culturally safe care.

Our Work

Ensuring access to culturally safe care begins with systemic change led by Indigenous voices to reform how medical professionals are instructed and evaluated in Canada. With the leadership and support of the consortium, national education organizations will support Indigenous leadership to inform the future of health service delivery. Throughout this exciting and transitionary time, the NCIME will continue to implement the work that will transform the future of Indigenous Medical Education.
