About us
Our multidisciplinary team of clinicians, scientists, research associates, and students enables us to meet the needs of multiple stakeholders and bridge the gap between patients with Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy (DCM) and clinicians.
Through our partnership with the Canadian Spine Outcomes and Research Network (CSORN) and Praxis Spinal Cord Institute, we have access to a diverse dataset of patients from across Canada and logistical support.
