Wâpanachakos Indigenous Health Program
The Wâpanachakos Indigenous Health Program (WIHP) was founded in 1988 by the Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry at the 海角社区 to encourage a greater number of First Nations, Inuit and Metis students to gain access to, and graduate from, all faculty of medicine and dentistry programs.
WIHP's mission is to collaborate with Indigenous communities, faculty and staff to advance Indigenous health through the support of innovative opportunities for Indigenous students, researchers and communities within Alberta and throughout the world.
