Canadian Indigenous Nurses Association (CINA)

The Canadian Indigenous Nurses Association (CINA) supports the recruitment and retention of more people of Indigenous ancestry into nursing and other health sciences professions, as well as consultation, research, education, and promotion of awareness of the health needs of Indigenous peoples. The CINA also works with communities, health professionals and government institutions on Indigenous health nursing issues; research on nursing and Indigenous access to health care; program development for applied and scientific research designed to improve health and well-being in Indigenous peoples; courses and educational resources on Canadian Indigenous health, Indigenous knowledge, and cultural safety in nursing.
