NMD4C Provides Opportunity for Neuromuscular Fellows to Build Clinical Network at National Meeting
The NMD4C Curriculum and Education task has worked to provide education and training support for Canadian neuromuscular clinical fellows. We seek to continuously improve the resources we provide to clinical trainees, and feedback from fellows identified a need for neuromuscular fellows in Canada to meet and forge connections with other fellows and clinicians from across the country.
To meet this need, we are pleased to share that this fall we provided an opportunity for clinical neuromuscular fellows to attend NMD4C’s annual meeting and the Western Canadian Neuromuscular Conference (WCNMC) in Calgary. Led by NMD4C and MDC fellowship recipient Dr Marianne Nury and University of Calgary Neuromuscular and EMG fellowship director Dr Gord Jewett, we support 16 fellows to attend both meetings and provided them with the opportunity to:
- Present flash talks to introduce themselves to the other fellows and NMD4C investigators at our annual meeting
- Present cases for discussion at the WCNMC
- Attend networking events for fellows at the beginning and end of the WCNMC
- Participate in the WCNMC research symposium – congratulations to Dr Lola Lessard, clinical fellow at The Ottawa Hospital who won “Best Poster Presentation”!
Following the success and positive reception of this event, we will look to provide future opportunities for Canadian neuromuscular fellows to attend similar events.
