Justice, Equity, Diversity, Inclusion

In 2021, CAPR adopted an Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Policy, which affirmed our commitment to justice, cultural humility, and equity. To move forward with meaningful change, in 2022, we retained respected educator, Robin Adams, to deliver a three-part education package, focusing on Indigenous cultural safety.

The series titled “Indigenous Cultural Safety and Humility Education” , comprised of three virtual educational sessions customised for CAPR by Ms. Adams. The first session covered Indigenous history in Canada, the second session focused on the intent and logistics of land acknowledgements, while the third session observed the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, focusing on residential schools and Indigenous Cultural Safety and Humility in health care profession evaluation services today.

All three sessions were attended by CAPR staff and guests, including members of the Board of Directors, Registrars Committee, Evaluation Services Committee, Board of Examiners, Expert Advisory Panel and Written Item Writers.

In 2023, we will continue building on our commitment to meaningful change with a review of job descriptions to ensure inclusivity and an allstaff training session on matters of justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion.
