Research is one of the main pillars of the Post-COVID-19 Interdisciplinary Clinical Care Network (PC-ICCN).
Our Network coordinates patient-oriented research that leads to rapid learning and data-sharing to improve care. Our researchers represent diverse areas of health care expertise and are actively doing research to support communities throughout B.C. and Canada.
Participating in research can help scientists learn more about the persistent symptoms of post-COVID condition (PCC), or long COVID. We want to make that people from a range of backgrounds and experiences have the opportunity to participate in research. A more diverse group of participants means research that is relevant to more people.
If you are a patient with PC-ICCN who is interested in participating in long COVID studies, email
