In this episode, we discuss Dr. Anderson’s path to becoming Dean of the Cumming School of Medicine and the diverse career opportunities available for Canadian physicians. Dr. Anderson discusses tackling Alberta’s primary care crisis, particularly in rural areas and highlighting how expanding physician training in small- to mid-size centres can help address such healthcare issues. This leads to a discussion on locally-based medical education opportunities being made available for smaller communities in southern Alberta (University of Lethbridge) and northern Alberta (Northwestern Polytechnic).
