Description: | Toronto Rehabilitation Institute, a member of the University Health Network, has a long track record of providing specialized outpatient, interdisciplinary team-based rehabilitation to persons living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) with mild to moderate levels of impairment. Embedded alongside this program, there exists a large neurophysiatric practice catering to the bio-psycho-social needs of MS patients at all levels of disability. Furthermore, strong collaborations exist with Unity Health--St. Michael’s Hospital’s BarLo MS Centre, a world- leading, neurology-led, MS clinic that also has a neurophysiatric presence. This dual setting, is ideal for the physiatrist or neurologist post-graduate learner interested in increasing their knowledge of the holistic management of persons living with MS to minimize disability progression, optimize functional independence, and decrease symptom burden. Motivated, caring and dependable specialist physicians would be most welcome to become part of a team dedicated to the well-being of persons living with MS. Participation will enhance one’s knowledge of MS specific impairments (including but not limited neurogenic fatigue, spasticity, MS-related sleep disorders, MS-related psychiatric presentations, neurogenic bladder, bone health, etc.) and physiatric principles, as a whole. State of the art information on MS disease modifying treatments, disease surveillance, exercise, and other wellness topics to address physical, cognitive, and psycho-emotional wellbeing will be discussed throughout the course of the fellowship. Opportunities to collaborate on research will be available to all clinical fellows expressing an interest. This exclusively outpatient-based practice would complement the acquisition of knowledge, skills, and attitudes relevant to the rehabilitation of other brain and spinal cord-based pathologies and may form part of a larger neuro-based rehabilitation fellowship for those candidates interested in broader exposure. |
