Dr. Dalton Sholter is an associate clinical professor in the Department of Medicine and a community-based rheumatologist in Edmonton. He graduated from the University of Saskatchewan College of Medicine and completed his residencies in internal medicine and rheumatology at the U of A. He did outreach clinics in Yellowknife, N.W.T. every three months for 22 years before retiring from that practice in 2019.
Sholter has been a principal investigator in numerous clinical studies and has a clinical interest in innovative therapies for inflammatory disease.
A long-standing member of the U of A residency program committee, Sholter strives to impart the importance of empathy and professionalism in all aspects of medical practice. He is passionate about sharing his love of rheumatology with learners at all levels — from medical students to rheumatology subspecialty trainees and allied health professionals in occupational and physical therapy.
“I am humbled to have received recognition for my teaching efforts,” says Sholter. “It is an honour to have received the CAME award and motivating for me to continue teaching.”
