DISCOVER CanVasc and its
affiliated centers across Canada
CanVasc is the Canadian network for research on vasculitides. It was created in November 2011 by Drs. Pagnoux, Carette and Khalidi. First task was to identify other referal medical centers and physicians across Canada with expertise in vasculitis and willing to be part of this new research group. Among its several other aims, important ones are to help conducting studies on vasculitis, provide support and educational material on vasculitides for physicians and trainees and, eventually, optimize the therapeutic management of patients with these rare diseases in order to further improve their outcomes.
