In this episode you will hear from Dr. Doug Woudstra, an Edmonton family physician who had a drive and desire to do more after having established a career in physical therapy. His desire took him abroad to get a first-hand look at global health. After working as a volunteer in Gabon in Central Africa and rural South Africa, Dr. Woudstra returned to Canada to work in rural medicine in Alberta and finally settled in Edmonton. Having a broad breadth of experience, Dr. Woudstra discusses the special bond family physicians and patients build of time and the necessity to protect Alberta's legacy of strong primary health care.
