DR YES Kimberley callinG Students around the Kimberley had the opportunity to discuss issues relating to mental health, sexual health and alcohol and other drugs as eight volunteer medical students from the University of Western Australia toured the region as part of the Dr YES program in the middle of September. The annual trip, sponsored by the Royal Flying Doctor Service, saw the students traverse the Kimberley from Kununurra to Broome, visiting Wyndham, Fitzroy Crossing and Derby in between. Spanning a week, the volunteers delivered the acclaimed program to over 400 primary and high school students with all three modules being well received. The Kimberley provided a challenging environment in which to deliver the program, with differing cultures, vast distances and the varying ages of the students ensuring the volunteers were kept on their toes. The adaptability of the program came to the fore however and despite the challenges, sessions were delivered with vigour and enthusiasm, resulting in positive feedback from teachers and students alike. While in the Kimberley, the students had the opportunity to visit the Nindilingarri Cultural Health Service in Fitzroy Crossing. The meeting provided the opportunity to learn more about the practical application of holistic, cultural health to indigenous communities as well as a cross exchange of ideas, information and opinions relating to health promotion. The medical students also paid a visit to the RFDS in Derby, where they meet with Dr Dean Boyatzis who regaled them with inspiring stories of rural and remote medicine. Working with the RFDS has been a fantastic experience for the medical students and has given the Dr YES program access to students and communities in rural and remote areas of WA who are otherwise difficult to reach. Overall the trip was a great success with schools and communities requesting further Dr YES involvement in the coming years. The remainder of the year will see Dr YES finish off a fully-booked metropolitan schedule as well as travelling to Albany and the Great Southern at the end of November for the program’s annual rural outreach visit. ■ Driven: Dr YES team members Chance Drummond, Dylan Beinart, Michael Kirk, Malindi Haggett Sophie Doherty, Verity Moynihan, Jen Alderson and president of the Western Australian medical students’ Society, Benjamin Host.
