Spasticity Education and Clinical Translation Summer School

The SPECTRA (Spasticity Education and Clinical Translation) International Summer School is a two-day international academic program hosted by the UBC Division of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, ISPRM Spasticity Special Interest Group, and SUNAAS.

Designed primarily for early-career clinicians and trainees, the SPECTRA Summer School also welcomes established physicians and researchers committed to mentorship and collaboration.

Participants may register for either a single day or both days of the program, depending on availability and interest.

Space is limited, and registration will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis.

SPECTRA offers an integrated educational framework combining:

• Clinical innovation
• Research development
• Academic skill-building
• Structured international dialogue

Participants will engage in high-level discussions on:

• Spasticity pathophysiology
• Evolving outcome measurement paradigms
• Clinical goal-setting challenges
• Multimodal management strategies
• Emerging innovations including AI, ultrasound, EMG, and biomarker development

Through point–counterpoint debates, moderated discussion, and rotating small-group workshops, the program fosters meaningful global exchange aimed at advancing spasticity care collaboratively.

SPECTRA's steering committee and international faculty speakers are excited to welcome you all in Vancouver!
