Promoting Awareness, Collaboration, and Expertise

APC leads and supports numerous educational programs for healthcare professionals, patients, families, and medical trainees.  

This includes an annual multi-disciplinary conference (“Amyloid Day in Calgary”), resident and fellowship training programs and regular multi-disciplinary rounds. 

Our goal is to promote awareness, collaboration, and expertise in the field of amyloidosis. We aim to educate and inform healthcare professionals, patients, and their families on current  developments and resources available.

The Calgary Neuromuscular Fellowship provides comprehensive training in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of neuromuscular diseases including  amyloidosis. The program offers extensive instruction in nerve conduction studies and electromyography, as well as exposure to specialized neuromuscular clinics, longitudinal fellow clinics, and neuromuscular rehabilitation clinics. 

We offer one or two-year fellowships, both of which provide comprehensive training in the management of neuromuscular diseases. Our one-year fellowship is a clinically focused program, while our two-year fellowship includes a research or innovation component.

Healthcare professionals have the opportunity to collaborate with leaders in the field and discuss complex amyloid-related cases during regular rounds at the local, provincial, and national levels (national rounds are currently under development). These rounds aim to improve patient care through expert consultation and increased awareness of this rare disease. In addition, they offer a platform to build connections with peers, trainees, and healthcare professionals in the amyloid space.
 

Our program facilitates medical rounds to foster collaboration, exchange ideas, and advance innovation in amyloid patient care across the country. 

If you are a medical professional and wish to learn more or participate in our medical rounds, please contact us.
