Welcome
We are inviting you to participate in the 2027 Indigenous Medical Education Gathering (IMEG). This annual event brings together Indigenous students, residents, physicians, and health professionals from across disciplines—including medicine, midwifery, nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech and audiology, and genetic counselling. IMEG is a space for connection to each other, the land around us, ceremony, and learning. Hosted by the Rural Coordination Centre of BC (RCCbc), with the continued support of the UBC Faculty of Medicine, SFU Stephens Family School of Medicine, the First Nations Health Authority (FNHA), and the Indigenous Physicians Association of Canada (IPAC), the weekend will take place across several locations. Friday evening’s social will be hosted at SFU’s First Peoples Gathering House. On Saturday, we will spend time in community at Musqueam, followed by a celebratory dinner (location to be confirmed). We will come together once more on Sunday to close the weekend at the UBC Longhouse.
Land Acknowledgement
We gratefully acknowledge that the 2027 Indigenous Medical Education Gathering takes place on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (TsleilWaututh) Peoples. We recognize the deep and ongoing connections that the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (TsleilWaututh) People have to these lands, waters, and communities. We also honour the many First Nations, Métis, and Inuit Peoples who join us, bringing their knowledge, teachings, and stories into this shared space. We are grateful for the opportunity to gather here in the spirit of learning, relationship, and community.
