Patient Health Alliance (PHA) is pleased to invite you to the 2026 Pre-ECTRIMS Cutting-Edge Practicum, taking place October 20, 2026, in Toronto, Canada.
For over a decade, annual Pre-ECTRIMS Symposia and more recently this Practicum was convened by The Guthy-Jackson Charitable Foundation (GJCF), bringing together leading clinicians and researchers and members of the International Clinical Consortium for substantive discussion of emerging science and the evolving treatment landscape in NMOSD. As Patient Health Alliance (PHA) continues the advocacy and education programs formerly led by GJCF, we are pleased to carry this important program forward.
Moderated by Dr. Dean Wingerchuk and Dr. Michael Yeaman, the 2026 Practicum will convene international clinicians, researchers, and key opinion leaders in NMOSD, MOGAD, and neuroimmunology for focused scientific discussion, exchange, and collaboration. Designed to go beyond traditional presentations, the Practicum creates opportunities to examine complex clinical questions, emerging evidence, and developments shaping the future of clinical care and research.
