An apology from the Canadian Medical Association for the role the medical profession has played in harms to Indigenous people.
It came during a ceremony in Victoria, British Columbia.
President Dr. Joss Reimer says they are deeply ashamed of the racism and discrimination Indigenous people have faced.
“We have not lived up to the ethical standards the medical profession is expected to uphold to ensure the highest standard of care is provided to patients and trust is fostered in physicians, residents, and medical students,” says Dr. Reimer.
