“Healed Healers Heal”: Inside the Push for an Indigenous Medical School A first-of-its-kind medical school could transform healthcare in Indian Country for the better. The Indigenous School of Medicine (ISOM), a proposed medical school that weaves ceremony, culture, and Indigenous practices into physician education, could welcome students as early as 2030. Dr. Donald Warne (Oglala Sioux), physician and co-director for the Center for Indigenous Health at Johns Hopkins and ISOM president, told Native News Online that the school aims to provide an environment where students don’t have to check their Indigenity at the door, but instead center their education and practice around their culture. https://nativenewsonline.net/health/healed-healers-heal-inside-the-push-for-an-indigenous-medical-school/
