The Canadian Rheumatology Association invites all
Rheumatologists in Canada to
Stand Up and Be Counted!
The Canadian Rheumatology Association, in collaboration with the Arthritis Alliance of
Canada, is conducting a Rheumatology workforce survey to measure the current
capacity for Rheumatology care in Canada. The main objective of this study is to report
on the number of rheumatologists per 100,000 population and to do this accurately, we
need to ascertain the number of days that rheumatologists are working and their
available time to see patients.
We would like to ask you a series of questions about your current rheumatology practice
and information on your practice characteristics. To protect your privacy, we will ensure
that the number of variables represented on a map at one time will be minimized.
This is a study by rheumatologists for rheumatologists and is supported by the CRA. We
respect your privacy as a health care provider and will ensure that your privacy is
protected, where possible, in the reporting and mapping of this information. If you have
any concerns about your privacy when answering questions please contact
[email protected]
To thank you after completing the survey, you will be offered entry into a draw for a
complimentary registration to the 2016 CRA Annual Scientific Meeting, which will be
held in Lake Louise, Alberta.
This survey will take approximately 20 minutes to complete. Please contact
[email protected] to obtain an email invitation to this survey.
We thank you for taking the time to Stand Up and Be Counted!
