Dr. Lawrence Olfert of Drumheller is the 2007 Recipient of the Alberta Rural Physician Award of Distinction.
“Following a review of the outstanding candidates nominated this year, The Alberta Rural Physician Action Plan (RPAP) Board selected Dr. Olfert based on his passion for rural medicine, his outstanding support of rural medical education and his role modeling for shadowing medical students in the Drumheller community,” says Dr. Clayne Steed, RPAP Board and Award Selection Committee Chair.
Dr. Olfert will be presented with the Award of Distinction at a community celebration co-hosted by RPAP and the Drumheller community on Monday, 25 June at the Dinosaur Downs Barn on the Drumheller Stampede Grounds.
The RPAP Award of Distinction honours and recognizes the work of all rural physicians, especially those “unsung heroes” who provide Alberta rural communities with outstanding medical services and who also make huge contributions to medical practice and to their communities. It is presented annually to an Alberta rural family physician who lives and has worked in rural Alberta for at least four years, and who demonstrates a superior commitment and contribution to the community through medical practice, teaching of other health professionals, conducting research, and volunteering in the community.
