Workshop description: How can we push the boundaries of program requirements to ensure they meet the needs of our learners and communities? 

I am exploring this question as we design a Balanced Health Curriculum for Indigenous Health Sciences. Central to this exploration is the idea of accessibility through flexibility. 

Some other questions I am asking are - How can we truly start from the needs and interests of learners? How can we support flexible competency development based on learner choice? How is flexibility related to accessibility? How can we track learning in this kind of flexible environment?
