About Us
Educate. Collaborate. Motivate.
A network of researchers and clinicians across Alberta that fosters collaboration, research, and educational activities on MS, in addition to training the next generation of MS scientists.
Our Story
The Alberta MS Network was initiated in 2009 with funding from the MS Society of Canada (previously branded as the ‘Alberta endMS Regional Research and Training Centre’). What began as a training network to enhance the quality of teaching of MS trainees in Alberta rapidly evolved into a network across Alberta that helps create a internationally recognized hub for MS research, care, collaboration and training.
