The second season of Our Medicine has premiered on NITV/SBS and follows The Rural Clinical School of WA (RCSWA) medical student Keisha Calyun on placement in the Kimberley. 

Filming centred on Broome, Beagle Bay and Bidyadanga communities over March 2025 and followed Keisha, a proud Ballardong Noongar woman, as she undertook her penultimate year of study with RCSWA.  

RCSWA trains medical students for 12-24 months at 15 rural sites to prepare them for rural practice and ensure equitable access to high quality, culturally appropriate healthcare for rural and remote West Australians.

The school is a partnership between the medical schools of The University of Western Australia, The University of Notre Dame Australia and Curtin University. 

Working with other First Nations health professionals and the Broome Aboriginal Medical Service, in the series Keisha and her colleagues demonstrate how culturally informed practice is leading to positive patient outcomes and the restoring of trust in institutional health care.

RCSWA Head of Division Associate Professor Andrew Kirke congratulated Keisha on sharing her training journey and personal reflections. 

“We are very proud of Keisha for dedicating her time to this TV project during what was her first full clinical training year and showing how powerful culturally informed practice is,” Associate Professor Kirke said. 

“On-Country learning and medical careers are possible for Aboriginal students through RCSWA and will help create change for the better.”

Keisha is currently studying her final year of medicine with RCSWA in Broome.
