There’s a growing number of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander doctors in Australia, but like a lot of things in Indigenous Health, this workforce is a lot smaller than it should be. As we’ve explored in previous episodes on cultural safety and other aspects of Indigenous Health, the importance of culturally safe healthcare and being treated by a doctor who’s a part of your community is a huge factor in addressing healthcare disadvantages that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders face. Hear from a few Indigenous medical students and junior doctors to find out how they see this situation themselves.
