The SCI Annual Education Day was birthed and made possible by the support and commitment of colleagues from The Universities of Alberta and Calgary, Foothills Medical Centre, Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital, as well as from AHS operational leaders.  

 

The goal was to have an event to build knowledge and a community of practice among persons with SCI, provincial SCI clinicians and community partners.

​

The SCI Annual Education Day forms part of a larger CIHR Transitions in Care project called CONnecting and Coordinating an Enhanced Network for TRansitions In Care (CONCENTRIC): A New Model for Spinal Cord Injury Care in Alberta. 

 

The project hopes to address the gaps in transitions in care (TiC) by engaging multiple SCI stakeholders across Alberta to study, develop, implement and evaluate a new TiC model for SCI.
