Post Conference Workshop: Osteoarthritis National Cohort

Join us in a hybrid conference workshop as we explore current challenges of Osteoarthritis. Featuring a presentation by Dr. Steve Boyd - Director of the McCaig Institute for Bone and Joint Health, University of Calgary, this workshop will explore the Osteoarthritis National Cohort, the data surrounding this disease, along with its challenges, opportunities and future priorities.

 

Due to the increase of COVID cases and suggestions from Health Authorities, the Conference Committee has made the difficult decision to cancel this Workshop.  This will be offered at a later date by Western's Bone and Joint Institute in partnership with CaNMoR and the Canadian MSK Rehab Network.
