Canadian Spine Society (CSS)

The Canadian Spine Society is a community of Canadian medical leaders comprised of orthopaedic surgeons, neurosurgeons, physiatrists, physiotherapists, chiropractors and other spine health care professionals, all with the goal of promoting strong and healthy backs. With its diverse training and wide range of experience, the CSS membership remains focused on the improvement of spine research, educational needs and treatments in Canada.

They focus on maintaining strong partnerships with groups such as the Rick Hansen institute, Back Care Canada and most major Canadian universities. These partnerships allow the CSS to build consensus among stakeholder groups through increased opportunities for collaboration, inter-organizational communication and programs that encourage continuous improvement among all spine care professionals.

Mission:
The Canadian Spine Society is a collaborative organization of spine surgeons and health care professionals with a primary interest in advancing excellence in spine patient care, research and education.

Vision:
To be home to world leaders in spine care, research, and education.

They will develop, implement and evaluate the effectiveness of evidence-based national guidelines for optimal spine care, and establish a formally recognized national program for clinical fellowship training in spine surgery.

This vision will be enabled by their collective ability to inspire, innovate, and engage.
