Vascular Training (VAST) Platform

The Vascular Training (VAST) Platform is a Canada-wide community that offers diverse training opportunities for researchers in the field of Vascular Cognitive Impairment (VCI). We provide trainee scholarships, VCI specific course material, professional development, an annual conference, as well as experiential learning opportunities by our collaborations with multiple organizations throughout Canada.

Recognizing a gap in VCI and dementia-related content available on the internet, we decided to create a series of videos that could be useful for non-academic audiences, people living with VCI, their care partners, people with lived experience (PWLE), and healthcare providers. These videos incorporate relevant scientific information, insights from PWLE, and address a variety of topics including diagnosis and treatment support for PWLE and their care partners.
