Dr. Annelind Wakegijig has been working in the medical field for nearly three decades. Yet, this is the first time in 20 years that she’s been back at the Indigenous Physicians Association of Canada’s annual meeting.

Held this year in Halifax, under the theme “Our Stories, Our Medicine,” this national conference aims to bring more young Indigenous people into healthcare by providing medical students and established physicians the opportunity to share stories of their journeys, grow their networks and participate in cultural activities.
