2 Racial Bias in Canadian Healthcare Draft Thesis: Indigenous people seeking healthcare in Canada experience racial bias, which prevents them from accessing the care they need. Educating healthcare professionals on recognizing bias in their attitudes towards patients and in their practice would make a significant difference. Beavis, A. S., Hojjati, A., Kassam, A., Choudhury, D., Fraser, M., Masching, R., & Nixon, S. A. (2015). What all students in healthcare training programs should learn to increase health equity: Perspectives on postcolonialism and the health of Aboriginal Peoples in Canada. BMC Medical Education
, 15
(1), 1-11. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12909-015-0442-y In this scholarly article, Beavis et al. (2015) discuss how the ongoing effects of colonialism create inequities for Indigenous people seeking healthcare, and the need for anti-
colonial curriculum to be integrated into Canadian healthcare training. The authors argue that it is necessary to teach the history and contemporary effects of the colonization of Indigenous people in Canada when discussing their health and healthcare needs. This article illustrates the discriminatory experiences of Indigenous communities resulting from colonization and the continuous healthcare inequities created by colonialism. It also introduces strategies to use to implement anti-racist curriculum into healthcare education, as well as who will teach it and when it should be taught. I will use this article to argue that educating healthcare professionals on the history and ongoing effects of colonialism, residential schools, and the Indian Act, will help them understand how these events have affected Indigenous peoples

past and present-day health status and created a culture of mistrust and fear toward the Canadian healthcare system. Phillips-Beck, W., Eni, R., Lavoie, J. G., Avery Kinew, K., Kyoon Achan, G., & Katz, A. (2020).

(22), 8343. https://doi.org/10.3390/ijerph17228343 In this peer-reviewed study, Phillips-Beck et al., (2020) conduct and analyse interviews with Indigenous people, focusing on questions regarding what the best methods are to create equitable, assessable, and appropriate healthcare. Results of this study revealed nine themes, but in my essay I will be focusing on the lack of familiarity and meaningful interactions between Indigenous peoples and non-Indigenous Canadians, the poor-quality service related to racism, and the racist stereotypes related to alcohol and substance use. I will use this article to argue that educating healthcare providers on Indigenous history, values, and customs will create a more inclusive and respectful healthcare environment. This article emphasizes the need for healthcare workers to reflect on their own privileges, assumptions, and biases in order to prevent poor-
quality healthcare services and the perpetuation of harmful stereotypes. Wylie, L., & McConkey, S. (2019). Insiders’ insight: Discrimination against Indigenous peoples through the eyes of health care professionals. Journal of racial and ethnic health disparities

(1), 37-45. https://doi.org/10.1007/s40615-018-0495-9 In this peer-reviewed journal article, Wylie and McConkey (2019) discuss discriminatory behaviours towards Indigenous people seeking healthcare and how to improve patient equity in the Canadian healthcare system. The authors use stories reported by Indigenous people who have received poor treatment by healthcare professionals due to racial bias, and how it led to misdiagnoses, poor health outcomes, and other detrimental consequences. A research study recorded statements from health care professionals who treated Indigenous people and from Indigenous people receiving care, and the collective theme was discrimination. Three subthemes from the study included an unwelcoming environment, stereotyping and stigma, and practice

4 informed by racism. This source shows the need for healthcare professionals to adapt to the needs and preferences for Indigenous people in order to gain trust and mutual respect creating a welcoming environment. It also demonstrates the need for healthcare workers to have a better understanding of how systematic challenges such as poverty, abuse, genocide, and the social determinates of health have led to poor health outcomes and illnesses. I will use this research to illustrate the current racial biases experienced by Indigenous people in Canadian healthcare contexts and the need to eliminate racial bias against Indigenous people through anti-colonial healthcare education.
