Dr. Lorne Clearsky
Saulteaux from Manitoba
Calgary Health Region/University of Calgary

BMy name is Lorne Clearsky, I am an Anishinaabe from the Waywayseecappo First Nation, located in south western Manitoba. I am a community medicine specialist who graduated from medical school in 1990. I completed my family practice residency in 1992 and began working in northern Manitoba as a fly-in physician for First Nations communities.  I worked for 5 years in this position before slowly working my way into public health with the Medical Services Branch of Health Canada from 1997-1999. I then worked for a First Nations Health Authority as their Medical Officer of Health from 1999-2001. I left this position to begin my community medicine residency at UBC. I finished in 2004 and began work as an assistant professor at the University of Manitoba and as a Medical Officer of Health for a health authority in northern Manitoba. I then moved to Calgary where I am currently a Deputy Medical Officer with the Calgary Health Region, Medical Lead for the Aboriginal Health Program and a clinical assistant professor with the department of Medicine.
