SPARC is the first facility in Canada to provide these opportunities for patients living with chronic pain, as well as clinicians and researchers specializing in pain management.

The Canadian Spinal Research Organization (CSRO) and PRAXIS are disseminating across Canada a free online course to present information and resources necessary to understand the complexities of an SCI. This will ultimately aid individuals with SCI and caregivers to serve as research advocates, as well as allow SCI researchers and healthcare providers to effectively partner with the SCI community. 

Registration for the SCI-RAC Course is free for everyone:
