What is AHHRI?

The Aboriginal Health Human Resources Initiative (AHHRI) 2005-2010 will help to develop and implement health human resources strategies that respond to the unique needs and diversity among First Nations, Inuit (FNIH) and Métis. 

By working in collaboration with First Nations, Inuit and Métis (FNIH), provincial and territorial partners, and the pan-Canadian Health Human Resources Strategy, the five-year AHHRI will build a foundation for a longer term systemic change in the supply of, demand for, and retention of, First Nations, Inuit (FNIH) and Métis health human resources.

Objectives

The objectives of the Aboriginal Health Human Resources Initiative are:

  • to increase awareness of First Nations, Inuit and Métis youth about health careers and increase the number of students entering into, and succeeding in health career studies;
  • to increase the number of post-secondary educational institutions that are supportive of Aboriginal students pursuing health career studies;
  • to identify the conditions conducive to the retention of First Nations, Inuit and Métis health care workers, and non-Aboriginal health care workers working in First Nations and Inuit communities;
  • to establish standards of practice and certification for community-based para-professional health care workers
