There has been an outpouring of support on social media for one of Drumheller’s doctors after the reports that he is no longer practicing at the Drumheller Associated Physician Clinic.
The report began to circulate on social media around midnight on Friday morning that Dr. Rithesh Ram, whose practice is relatively new to the valley, is no longer a member of the local clinic. There has been massive engagement from Drumheller residents, mostly in support of the doctor.
Dr. Ram tells the Mail,” At this time, I am not denying it.”
Dr. Ram has been in the spotlight recently for instigating a survey to learn more about Drumheller residents’ experience with the health care system and to understand the needs in the community.
He tells The Mail that in the short term he intends to still see patients at the Associated Physician Clinic and is in the process of setting up a new location for a new clinic.
Dr. Ram graduated from the University of Calgary with a joint MD- Ph.D. degree from the Leaders in Medicine - Epidemiology program. He was the recipient of the 2013 Award for Young Leaders from the Canadian Medical Association.
