Resilience, Persistence and Passion: A Story of a School Teacher and Her Journey through Medicine

Indigenous Health MedTalk

On the show today Dr Danielle Arabena yarns with Dr Casey Kalsi, an Indigenous GP who shares her journey of resilience after a significant motor vehicle accident put her on the path to her true calling. Along the way Casey experiences the highs and lows but shows she has the inner strength to keep going. There is something in her journey that we can all learn and grow from. Dr Casey Kalsi grew up in Brisbane and graduated medicine at the University of Queensland. Her diverse cultural background being Greek and Aboriginal allows her to relate well with people of all cultures and Dr Kalsi has a special interest in working with her mob to close the gap. Dr Kalsi was a school teacher before becoming a Doctor and believes education and health go hand in hand.
