Racism is unacceptable in medical education and practice. The Indigenous health values and principles statement was created to complement anti-racism teachings. It was first introduced on July 4, 2013. Its purpose is to articulate clear and concise Indigenous health ideals and beliefs to guide the Royal College in advancing Indigenous health. The work was informed from extensive consultations with the Indigenous Health Committee of the Royal College members, key informant interviews with Indigenous stakeholders, and health care educators and organizations.
