Internationally Educated Healthcare Professionals in Canada (IEHP)
This program provides education and training to assist Internationally Educated Health Professionals to access the resources and pathways to integrate themselves into the Canadian healthcare system. PEGASUS Institute’s support system includes a website providing resources for suitable pathways for employment in Canada, a mentorship program, and in-person events such as the pre-conference symposium at the North American Refugee Health Conference in July 2023.
Transactional Sex for Fish and Gender-Based Violence
In collaboration with partners, PEGASUS Institute is conducting a SSHRC-funded study in Kenya’s Lake Victoria region to explore the drivers and impacts of transactional sex for fish (S4F) and gender-based violence (GBV). The study aims to inform policy, develop training tools, and explore sustainable entrepreneurship opportunities to reduce the risks faced by women and girls in these fishing communities
Peace Professionalism Project
The PEGASUS Institute is a partner in the SSHRC-funded Peace Professionalism Project (PPP), which seeks to establish a framework for peace professionalism by identifying key criteria, values, and competencies needed in peace work. The project involves cross-sectoral research and collaboration among global scholars and practitioners to enhance peace curricula and develop scalable assessment systems for improving the effectiveness of peace professionals.
Underserved
Under-Served: Health Determinants of Indigenous, Inner-City, and Migrant Populations in Canada” explores the historical, political, and social factors affecting the health of these under-served groups, broadening traditional health determinants to include issues like government policies, racism, and LGBTQ identity. This comprehensive text features contributions from leading scholars and is designed for courses in health-related fields, with tools to promote change through education and advocacy.
Global Family Medicine
The aim of this project is to develop a map of family medicine around the world. Although family medicine has existed for decades, it is not completely understood what the training and role of a family physician encompasses in different parts of the world. It is our goal to advance the understanding of family medicine in the healthcare system and its effect on health systems performance in different settings (Li 2018).
