Education for Equity (E4E)intervention intends to improve care delivery through a well designed educational program that address not only the issues of diabetes care delivery to Aboriginal patients with diabetes, but also the issues of effective cross-cultural and culturally safe communication between healthcare providers and Aboriginal patients, and the issues related to effective implementation of appropriate chronic disease management programs for Aboriginal patients in a range of practice settings.
