For the second year in a row, three Indigenous students took prizes at the 2019 Faculty of Health Sciences Research Plenary Awards. Jillian Roberge, an emergency medicine resident; Danielle Bourque, a nursing master’s student, and Brittany Lickers, a master’s student in occupational therapy, were recognized with the ISHS Graduate Performance and Community Leadership Award.
These recent accomplishments are the latest in more than a decade of successes for the Indigenous Students Health Sciences office.
For about 18 years, the ISHS office has been a part of the Faculty of Health Sciences, working towards systemic change that better reflects the priorities of Indigenous learners and communities in health sciences.
