Hi team,
Great work on your presentation!
For your content, I appreciate the disclaimer at the beginning, as it let the audience know what to expect and provided a safe environment by allowing audience members to leave the room if we needed to. You did a great job at pulling in information from previous class content (ex. TRC Calls to Action) and relating it to your topic. The environmental scan was done very well. It aided my understanding of what resources are available within the community for Indigenous populations. The solutions you presented were appropriate for your content. You discussed each solution specifically and explained how it is relevant to your population. Your priority solution of mandatory education for healthcare workers which builds on San’yas is appropriate to increase our knowledge about culturally competent and culturally aware care. You also mentioned different ways in which potential barriers (ex. time availability, location) could be addressed by offering online sessions, in-person sessions, and providing compensation for attending education sessions. Finally, the summary tied your content together and provided a reminder and a call of action for us, as future nurses, to be mindful of our own biases and learn how to address and mitigate injustices in the healthcare system.
For aesthetics and creativity, the slides were very visually pleasing and had a good balance of text, pictures/diagrams, and white space. I like the minimal use of words on the slides and mostly speaking about the content rather than presenting it all to us. I have one question while looking at your presentation which pertains to the images on your environmental scan slide – do they have relevance to the specific organizations you mentioned, or were they mainly for aesthetics? Another thing I noticed during the presentation were the inconsistent fonts on the solutions slides. I suggest having someone look over your fonts (size. font types, bullet points) and colours to ensure they are uniform throughout the presentation. Finally, the speakers were very expressive during the presentation, which gave the presentation more depth and made it enjoyable to watch and listen to. There were moments wherein the speaker’s volume was toned down, making it difficult to hear. However, the volume was consistent for the most part and did not take away from your presentation.
As for your references, your use of in-text citation was evident throughout the presentation, demonstrating that you sought professional sources to back up your ideas and gave credit where credit was due. Moreover, the references are present and submitted into a document which is in the correct APA format. You used an adequate amount of references which were within 5 years of date. Although you had a reference which dated back to 2015 (the TRC document), I think this document was very important to include as it has the calls to action.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed your presentation and I think you all did a wonderful job.
Ton, Matthew, Thomas, and Gabby
Thank you for taking the time to dive deep into your chosen issue. To begin, I appreciated the acknowledgment that as students, we were warned about potentially sensitive topics and acknowledged the mental health of the listeners that might impact the presentation. Furthermore, I liked the visual aspects of your presentation, particularly the image showing Kamloops in the beginning as it provided a nice visual representation of the geographical area you were focusing on. Generally, most slides contained a good amount of information, and the font size was pleasant to read. However, some slides had a smaller font size that may have impacted readability from the back of the classroom. Overall, the images, layout, and presentation of information were interesting to look at but did not take away from the information you were trying to share.
Each presenter took an appropriate amount of time to speak during the presentation, so it appeared that everyone contributed to the workload in an equal manner. There were times when presenters spoke in a quiet tone or seemed to keep their eyes focused on the words for their script which took away from engagement with the audience. Perhaps, in future presentations, the volume of the presenter’s voice and eye contact with the audience could be enhanced.
For solution #1 (Fraser Partnership Accord), I enjoyed the mention that improvement in this area would result in more involvement and voices from the Indigenous and First Nations people which is a necessary factor when looking to address your problem, but that it puts more responsibility on FNHA and Indigenous peoples to create their own solutions. I appreciated that you discussed this aspect in the solution.
Solution #2 (Men’s Yarning Circles) was a very interesting solution to present. I appreciated that the group could tie this back to the In Plain Sight document, which I think is a vital lens to include in any solution that is offered in healthcare settings as it relates to care for our Indigenous populations. In fact, throughout the presentation, the group consistently drew the listener back to our responsibilities put forth by the In Plain Sight document and Calls to Action which is essential as we move forward.
Solution #3 (San’yas & Mandatory Education) as a final solution seems to make sense as a solution that could work from the ground up. Education and knowledge can have a powerful and timely response to the problem presented rather than solution #1 which might include large amounts of time waiting to sort responsibilities and details across multiple organizations (ex. FNHA, IH, and local First Nation Bands).
Overall, I appreciated the upstream and downstream approaches offered in both the environmental scan and final solutions. Additionally, it was helpful as a listener to be directed back to important and vital documents, such as In Plain Sight and the Calls to Action. Including relevant feedback from a local APN (Lisa) was a great way to reiterate information and experiences as it provided a tangible approach to topics being discussed. References cited appeared to be relevant and timely (the majority within the last 5 years). However, I am not skilled in Vancouver reference styles, so I am unable to comment on the proper format of the reference list. As mentioned previously, I would consider adjusting the presenter’s volume and tone as it can impact listeners who are sitting at the back of the room. However, the slides were able to present most of the information in a readable manner which would help students read the content. Ultimately, it was a pleasure listening to your presentation and I enjoyed the information you shared.
