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!
