Dear Colleague,

We would like to introduce you to the Canadian Cardiovascular Research Network (CCRN). We are a not-for-profit academic research organization that aims to foster basic, translational, clinical and population level research efforts and generate new knowledge to improve cardiovascular care in Canada. An additional mandate is to develop state-of-the-art knowledge integration platforms that feature multidisciplinary and inter-specialty collaboration focusing on the future of health care delivery, research and academia-industry interface. We invite you to explore our site to learn more about us.

We are now inviting physicians who have an interest or experience in clinical trials/registries, as well as participation in CME programs, to join our network of Canadian physicians who are dedicated to improving patient care through evidence based medicine. Through such a network, we will be able to more accurately identify opportunities that may be of interest to you. CCRN will then inform you of relevant research or educational opportunities that you may choose to participate in with no obligation.

Please complete the response form below to inform us of your interest in joining the Canadian Cardiovascular Research Network. The information you provide will be kept strictly confidential and will not be shared outside of CCRN.

We hope you will consider providing us your information and join our network of physicians who wish to improve cardiovascular care in Canada.

Sincerely,

Dr. Milan Gupta - Co-Medical Director

Dr. Subodh Verma - Co-Medical Director
