Indigenous student Kelsey Allen feels family medicine could be her calling. The second-year medical student hopes to eventually serve her First Nations community back home in Newfoundland.

"It’s very important to me – as an Indigenous doctor – getting my medical education, that I do not come out on the other side of a medical conveyor belt, as another Western doctor who is Indigenous. I want to be an Indigenous doctor who practices holistic medicine," Allen tells Global News.

She remains committed to being part of a change she hopes will last for generations.
