Pacific Healthcare Provider Meetup (Free & Hybrid Session): Pre-symposium Session at the 4th Canadian Symposium on Long COVID (2026)
The Pacific Healthcare Provider Meetup will bring together healthcare providers from across British Columbia to address Long COVID care through shared learning and facilitated conversation. Hosted in a hybrid format, with the in-person gathering at the Life Sciences Centre at the University of British Columbia, the session will feature a panel of experts who will provide brief presentations on current Long COVID research, clinical insights, and emerging evidence, followed by discussion shaped by questions from attendees. The session will bring forward practice and system-level topics relevant to the British Columbia context, such as care pathways, gaps in research and practice, diagnostics, therapeutics, and access to credible resources, while creating an opportunity for providers to share learnings, experiences, and perspectives related to Long COVID care across the province.
