Committee on the Professional Education of Native Students

Subseries consists of records pertaining to Dr. Baine’s involvement with the Faculty of Medicine Task Force on Native Canadian Students and the Professional Education of Native Students Committee (PENSC). The Task Force was established in late 1982 to determine why little-to-no Indigenous students were enrolled at the Faculty of Medicine and how to rectify the situation. As a member of the Task Force, Dr. Baines sought out and provided information about Indigenous participation in health-related programs in the United States. In 1983, Dr. Baines became the Chair of the newly created PENSC which aimed to advise the University of Toronto on how to improve Indigenous participation in professional programs. During this time, he organized a workshop to discuss barriers and improvements to Indigenous professional education at the University of Toronto. The workshop involved various representatives from post-secondary institutions, Indigenous communities and organizations, and the Federal and Provisional Governments; it served to inform the final position paper released by PENSC in December 1983. The recommendations outlined by this report were critical to the development and establishment of the AHPP.
