Education & Curriculum

ܰ쾱

“Ashukin” is a Naskapi word meaning “bridge”, given to this program by Glenda Sanda RN MSc is Naskapi Cree and a nurse from the Naskapi Community Kawawachikamach, QC and a member of the Pimicikamak Cree Nation of Cross Lake, Manitoba. Glenda worked with retired professor, Francoise Fillion to establish the Ashukin program at the Ingram School of Nursing.

The Ashukin Program is for undergraduate nursing students who apply to complete a clinical placement within an Indigenous community or an Indigenous specific community-based organization. Students are selected and given additional training that is culturally relevant to the community or organization, upholding the importance of honouring distinctions-based experiences, priorities, and needs. All students are introduced to many aspects of Indigenous health, well-being, and ways of knowing throughout the undergraduate nursing curriculum. The Ashukin program enables students to deepen their relationships with Indigenous peoples and communities and bring forward their experiences and teachings into their nursing practice for years to come.

Please reach out to Clinical Placements Office and OSAN for more information.

Global Health

The Ingram School of Nursing has developed a concentration within the master’s degree program for students to pursue their interests in global health and Indigenous health– Global Health Concentration (GHC). This option, which is in alignment with the objectives of the MSc(A) program, is available both to Direct Entry (MSc(A) in Nursing - Global Health Direct Entry concentration) and Nurse Bachelor Entry (MSc(A) in Nursing - Global Health concentration) students. GHC provides students with global health content throughout the program.
