We are excited to share an opportunity for Canadian neuromuscular trainees to help shape NMD4C’s basic science trainee strategy by joining the NMD4C Basic Science Trainee Committee (BSTC)! Committee members will represent the interests of neuromuscular trainees, provide strategic input on NMD4C trainee opportunities, organize events/workshops, and help build a supportive community while developing their own leadership skills and professional network. The BSTC Terms of Reference provides more information about the committee roles and responsibilities!

Available Positions: Chaired by Dr. Jean-Philippe Leduc-Gaudet, the committee offers leadership positions (co-chair and secretary) as well as general members.
