Our health system is rife with examples where racism, discrimination, and oppression have created a space that is unsafe, lacks compassion, and leads to poorer health outcomes for many Canadians. The EDIA Theme Projects aim to support primary care teams to understand their contexts through humility, listening, unlearning and relearning, and to address these inequities and injustices that impact patients and their loved ones, but also those who are working and learning within the health system.

​

As we look ahead, we need to support primary teams through this cultural transformation using a quality improvement approach that integrates humility-based insights into their team, tailored learning experiences, practical application, and mentorship that leads to a robust community of practice. These initial teams will then serve as exemplars and supports for others aspiring to begin this critical journey, for the health of all Canadians and those who have dedicated their lives to work within our health system.
