Rare disease education sessions
You can easily identify a patient with hypertension, but do you know how to recognize a rare disease? Roughly 1 in 12 Canadians, two-thirds of them children, are affected by a rare disorder. Because each disease affects only a small number of individuals, understanding and expertise may be limited and fragmented across the country.
This results in unnecessary delays in diagnostic testing, frequent misdiagnoses, and missed opportunities to treat. Sanofi Genzyme would like to welcome you to their free rare disease education sessions where you can learn about these genetic disorders, how rare disease patients may present in your practice, and how they are diagnosed. Please contact them at eugene.choi@sanofi.com or (416)-668-5098 if you’re interested in a free session at your team.
