Parkinson Canada is partnering with the Canadian Movement Disorder Society to host the 2nd Annual Canadian Movement Disorders Meeting on November 24-25th, 2023 in Toronto. Building on the success of the first meeting held in London, Ontario in 2022, this meeting will expand to include over 150 attendees including movement disorder specialists, neurologists, basic scientists, and other members of the Parkinson’s research and clinical professionals. In recent years, this community has strongly voiced the need to establish a forum that brings together experts from across the country to connect, collaborate, and share knowledge and ideas with the goal of improving the diagnosis and management of Parkinson’s and cultivating discoveries that will impact the lives of patients.
This is the first gathering of its kind in Canada and a rare opportunity to meet and interact with some of the world’s most renowned clinical and research experts in Parkinson’s and other movement disorders. The meeting will cover topics ranging from mechanisms of Parkinson’s pathophysiology to clinical trial insights to identifying barriers and solutions to optimizing access to care. The meeting will serve as an important platform for:
Networking and collaborating with experts in the field: Individuals from diverse backgrounds and geographic locations will have an opportunity to connect and collaborate. Researchers can form partnerships, clinicians can seek expert advice, and healthcare professionals can build relationships with colleagues. These connections can result in joint research projects, the advancement of clinical trials, and the development of multidisciplinary approaches to patient care across different communities.
Exchanging the latest scientific and clinical knowledge: Attendees will have the opportunity to share research findings, clinical experiences, and innovative approaches. This will also help raise awareness of critical issues facing healthcare providers across the country and identify alignment on possible solutions.
Building capacity in research and healthcare: The meeting offers avenues to share the latest in diagnosis and treatment of movement disorder with neurologists and other healthcare professionals to ensure there is a well-connected and well-informed healthcare ecosystem that can support patients throughout their journey. Participation in conferences and meetings also allows professionals to demonstrate their expertise, which can enhance career prospects and professional recognition.
