Regional News: Rheumatology Progress in Prince Edward Island

Download PDF

Hello from PEI!

There’s a lot of work being done on our island to improve access and repatriate rheumatology patients who had been travelling to New Brunswick and Nova Scotia for services. We’ve brought on a rheumatology nurse (RN) and recently created a new role and hired a rheumatology nurse practitioner (NP). We’ve introduced musculoskeletal ultrasound into my clinic and are very excited to welcome a second rheumatologist in the fall of 2025!

Looking ahead, our goal is to continue developing a provincial program in 2026 to include early access clinics, satellite/travel clinics, combined specialty clinics, and to introduce a hospital-based consultation service.
