Abstract: 

The Neuromuscular Disease Network for Canada (NMD4C) is the new pan-Canadian network that brings together the country’s leading clinical, scientific, technical, and patient expertise to improve care, research, and collaboration in neuromuscular disease.

The goals of the new NMD4C network are to:

• Build and sustain a new network of neuromuscular disorders stakeholders to make it easier for Canadian researchers, clinicians and patient advocates to improve research and care.
• Train and educate the next generation of neuromuscular disorder-specific clinicians, scientists, and patient advocates to improve the quality of care and research.
• Raise the standard of care for neuromuscular disorders and access to therapies across Canada, by developing and providing the right information, to the right audience, at the right time.
• Expand access to research resources and build research capacity by uniting local efforts across Canada and linking to international activities.
