ALS Exchange is a national meeting designed to strengthen both clinical research and care. This event brings together clinicians and allied health professionals from ALS clinical teams across Canada for practical learning, clinical updates, research highlights, and shared best practices. Program content will be shaped directly by the ALS clinical and research community to ensure it meets real-world needs and supports high-quality, person-centered care. The event will also provide opportunities for collaboration, knowledge exchange, and closer integration of ALS research and clinical care.
Attendance at ALS Exchange will be coordinated with Canadian ALS Research Network (CALS) clinics by invitation only.
