    “I think it’s important for medical students and future providers to know the importance of beading as actual medicine and a way of healing,” Bauer said, “and to think about different ways that traditional indigenous practices can be medicine, and think about the ways they can help their patients through that lens.” Meet Temerity Bauer, a second year Tribal Health PRIME student, who leads beading workshops for fellow students during their lunch hour. Temerity is passionate about teaching her fellow classmates the importance of beading in Native American culture, community building, healing and medicine. Our School of Medicine has a small but growing number of American Indian and Alaska Native students and most, like Temerity, belong to the two-year-old Tribal Health PRIME pathway. The pathway, or track, customizes medical education for students who want to be doctors for California’s urban, rural and tribal communities, which face significant health disparities.

  • Native American Heritage Month is celebrated each November. It is a time to honor the traditions, uplift the cultural histories, and amplify the work of American Indian and Alaska Native communities. At NNACoE, we carry these values with us every day of the year as we work towards our mission to sustainably address the healthcare needs of all people by increasing the number of AI/ANs in the U.S. health professions workforce. This Native American Heritage Month we invite you to celebrate with us as we reflect on the successes and learn from the challenges over the years. We hope you will consider joining us in this important work this giving season. Join us: https://lnkd.in/g_wjE6b8 ——— Celebrating our Impact NNACoE was founded in 2017, and since that time we have made great strides towards our mission both at OHSU and beyond. 132 high school scholars have completed the Tribal Health Scholars program since it began in 2018. Native medical students enrollment at OHSU has increased from 4 to 35 since NNACoE was founded in 2017, a 775% increase. As of 2023, OHSU has the 4th highest concentration of Native medical students in the country. Building upon the success of the Wy’east MedicinePathway, NNACoE partnerships have launched Wy’east Nursing and Wy’east Dentistry pathways at OHSU and Huwighurruk Tribal Health Post-Baccalaureate Programat UC Davis School of Medicine.

    According to the National Center for Education Statistics, American Indian and Alaska Native students (AI/AN) have the lowest graduation rate of any racial or ethnic group with just 74% finishing high school. But research has shown that diverse representation in the classroom can benefit students of color. Leaders at Portland State University (PSU) know firsthand the value of diversity in education, and are working to address this gap in representation. Within the College of Education, a series of federal grants has enabled initiatives like the American Indian Teacher Program (AITP), active from 2010 to 2020, and the First Nations Administrator and Knowledge Keepers Program (FNAKK), now in its third year. These programs offer full financial support for Native students pursuing master’s degrees in education, teaching licenses and principal credentials. With these resources, PSU is recruiting and preparing Indigenous students to become certified teachers and school leaders, creating a much-needed pathway for Native representation in education.
