Brantford-Indigenous Health Hub
Clinical Education Campus

The Brantford-Indigenous Health Hub (BIHH), previously known as Grand Erie Six Nations (GE6N), offers several strengths that cater to diverse learning interests in a dynamic environment. Residents gain experience working in an urban hospital setting, the Brantford General Hospital, managing needs of patients with complex medical and social issues. We also have placements in rural clinics where residents gain perspective on the unique needs of patients in rural communities. With these opportunities and diverse learning environments, residents who train at BIHH graduate with the skills and confidence to practice in any setting in Canada.
