Nick Withers CD, MD, CCFP(EM), FCFP
Medical Director
Dr. Withers has made a career of providing occupational and emergency medicine support in remote and austere locations. A proud veteran of the Canadian Armed Forces and Afghanistan conflict where he commanded the Health Services Unit, Lieutenant-Colonel (retired) Withers proudly wore the uniform for 22 years. He had the unique experience of supporting several high profile delegations including two Canadian Prime Ministers and Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on her Royal Tour of Canada in 2010. As a senior Medical Officer within the Forces, Nick had extensive experience in occupational and preventive medicine – dealing with the myriad of unique challenges of supporting military personnel and operations.
Seventeen years of emergency medicine experience in rural and suburban emergency departments afforded a unique perspective of the challenges of being out there and alone in remote locations. Since his retirement, Dr. Withers has transitioned to the emergency room and routinely supervises medical students and residents in addition to teaching military clinicians. His extensive special operations experience has solidified his “can do” attitude.
