Alicia Thatcher (MD, CCFP) completed her family medicine residency at the University of Saskatchewan. Her passion for improving healthcare for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities stemmed from her experience working at Camp Easter Seal in high school and volunteering with organizations such as Best Buddies and Special Olympics. She currently serves on the board of the American Academy of Developmental Medicine and Dentistry (AADMD), an organization she’s been involved in for over five years. She has almost completed her training in a new Family Medicine Enhanced Skills program focused on primary care for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities through the University of Saskatchewan – a new training program she created based on her own learning needs and the gaps she identified in her community.
