News from the Pediatric
Rheumatology Team at the CHU
de Québec–Université Laval
By Julie Couture, MD, FRCPC
Our team is now composed of three dynamic pediatric
rheumatologists who are committed to caring for children
and adolescents with rheumatological conditions in
the Quebec City area and throughout eastern Quebec! In
addition, we are currently in the process of recruiting a
fourth pediatric rheumatologist.
We are involved in teaching pre-clinical, external and
resident students at Université Laval and each of us have
our own particular clinical and research interests:
- Dr. Anne-Laure Chetaille: auto-inflammatory diseases;
- Dr. Julie Couture: pediatric and neonatal lupus;
- Dr. Jean-Philippe Proulx-Gauthier: joint ultrasonography
Our team is motivated to collaborate with other Canadian
centres for the benefit of our precious little patients!
