Taylor Headshot

Taylore Dupuis Shalovsky, MD Class of 2025

Improving Indigenous representation and cultural safety in Medicine

“My goal has always been to increase Indigenous representation in medicine. I have also been inspired to serve Indigenous patients. As an Indigenous woman, I have seen family members suffer from health-care related racism, and it is important to me that these injustices no longer occur in the health-care system. My goal is to become a culturally safe provider, and to also teach others how to be the same. ”
