ATM Member Dr. Emily Brigham
Within the partnership-related projects category, Dr. Brigham, Adrian Yee, and Derek Thompson are leading the project BC Climate Health and Knowledge Community (BC CHKC). The project was summarized as follows:
Build enduring relationships and community between Indigenous and non-Indigenous knowledge holders, rooted in respect and aligned with the UBC Indigenous Strategic Plan. Establish reciprocal knowledge exchange pathways with Indigenous communities, to inform the educational strategy of the FoM in the face of escalating climate health concerns, empowering faculty and trainees to best care for themselves, their patients, and their communities. This project will develop top priorities and best strategies for climate and health advancement endorsed by diverse climate and health experts in BC.
The ATM congratulates all recipients, and looks forward to the outcomes of all of the funded projects, the majority of which are focused on Indigenous initiatives. Learn about all of the chosen projects in this announcement.
