This program was developed by the Section of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, Department of Clinical Neurosciences, University of Calgary and co-developed with the CanStroke Recovery Trials Platform; and the Stroke Cog Clinical Trials Training Platform, and was planned to achieve scientific integrity, objectivity, and balance.
By the end of the 2026 Canadian Stroke Congress, participants will be able to:
- Share current evidence-based best practices in care across the full stroke continuum;
- Network among inter-professional individuals and groups working in stroke research, clinical care and system planning and improvement;
- Highlight Canadian achievements and contributions to stroke diagnosis, care and recovery;
- Identify emerging new technologies that will have an impact on the future of stroke care, such as artificial intelligence, neuromodulation and the brain-computer interface;
- Raise the bar on stroke standards of care by providing education, implementation knowledge, and practical skills to be incorporated into daily practice working in stroke care;
- Integrate principles of person-centered stroke care into their practice and work environments
