ABOUT US
The BC Thrombosis Network comprises a community of Thrombosis Specialists dedicated to the care of patients with venous thromboembolic disorders. Our goal is to provide timely, accessible, and high-quality tertiary-level care for patients throughout the province of British Columbia. We are also actively engaged in academic research, quality improvement, and medical education.
Our mission is to provide comprehensive, accessible, and tertiary-level thrombosis services for patients with thromboembolic disorders in British Columbia. We apply a patient-centered approach to promote wellness and optimize health outcomes through evidence-based practices. We embrace a team-based approach to provide coordinated and comprehensive care that addresses the diverse needs of our patients. We value continuous learning and professional growth to ensure our practices are up to date with the latest research and clinical standards.
Our Thrombosis Clinics are distributed in several health authorities, and provide accessible care to patients living across a broad catchment area. For a detailed list of our locations and services offered at each site, please click here.
Our network offers clinical training opportunities for medical students, residents, and subspecialty fellows in both outpatient and inpatient settings. Learners also have the opportunity to engage in clinical research as well as quality improvement projects. We are in the process of acquiring Royal College accreditation for a one-year Thrombosis Clinical Fellowship Program, designed to provide post-graduate medical trainees with the competencies to function as Thrombosis Specialists across Canada. This will be the first accredited Thrombosis Medicine fellowship program in Western Canada.
We gratefully acknowledge the support from Thrombosis Canada, the St. Paul’s Hospital Foundation, and our corporate sponsors, including LEO Pharma, Pfizer, and Bayer. The generous contributions from our partners and sponsors has been pivotal for creating the Thrombosis Network, as well as enhancing medical education, thrombosis research, and patient care.
