3.4.1 Bachelor of Community Rehabilitation - Indigenous Pathway Program


General Information

In response to Calls to Action by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and the University’s Indigenous Strategy (ii' taa'poh'to'p), the Cumming School of Medicine provides an opportunity for those who identify as Indigenous (First Nations, Métis, or Inuit) to be admitted under the Indigenous Admission Process and/or the Indigenous Admission Supplementary Process. Prospective Indigenous students who have not completed all high school courses normally required for admission (see Undergraduate Degree Admission Requirements) will be considered for admission to the Bachelor of Community Rehabilitation Indigenous Pathway when they apply. Those admitted to the Indigenous Pathway will be guaranteed admission to the Bachelor of Community Rehabilitation upon completion of foundation courses as outlined in the table below.

Students in the Indigenous Pathway will meet with a Cumming School of Medicine Undergraduate Program Advisor for pathway advising and the Writing Symbols Lodge for academic, personal, and cultural support.


Admission Requirements

For admission requirements, see A.5.6.2 Indigenous Admission Supplementary Process.

The Cumming School of Medicine Indigenous Admissions Committee reviews applications to the Indigenous Pathway. The Committee will include faculty members of the Cumming School of Medicine who are Indigenous or have expertise in Indigenous Studies.

The University of Calgary, located in the heart of Southern Alberta, both acknowledges and pays tribute to the traditional territories of the peoples of Treaty 7, which include the Blackfoot Confederacy (comprised of the Siksika, the Piikani, and the Kainai First Nations), the Tsuut’ina First Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda (including Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney First Nations). The city of Calgary is also home to the Métis Nation within Alberta (including Nose Hill Métis District 5 and Elbow Métis District 6).

The University of Calgary is situated on land Northwest of where the Bow River meets the Elbow River, a site traditionally known as Moh’kins’tsis to the Blackfoot, Wîchîspa to the Stoney Nakoda, and Guts’ists’i to the Tsuut’ina. On this land and in this place we strive to learn together, walk together, and grow together “in a good way.”
