Welcome to the Indigenous Health Professions Program

The goals of the Indigenous Health Professions Program (IHPP) are to train more Indigenous health professionals and to teach all future health professionals about the health needs of Indigenous peoples. The IHPP has been developed through consultation and collaboration with Indigenous communities in Quebec, leaders of successful Indigenous Health programs at other Canadian universities, and other McGill departments and  programs.
