PURPOSE and BACKGROUND
The establishment of a pilot Elder in Residence program was done to facilitate integrated curriculum in the three nursing degree programs at Kwantlen Polytechnic University, and to serve as a culturally appropriate leader and experiential resource for faculty and students.
In addition, we included our Elder in the planning and delivery of:
☸ A faculty workshop (for all nursing programs) to orient to aboriginal ways of knowing, teaching and learning
☸ The exploration for establishment of community based Practice Placements on local reserves and urban organizations
☸ The development and delivery of culturally sensitive Recruitment materials and workshop strategies to attract aboriginal students into the nursing programs
