Brought to you by the Canadian Lymphedema Framework, Pathways LIVE is an engaging new livestream series that brings some of our magazine’s most compelling articles off the page and into real-time conversation. Like a “book club” for lymphedema care, each episode features the author of a selected Pathways article.

Join Pathways Editor-in-Chief and series host, Anna Kennedy, as she sits down with each author to explore updates, fresh insights, and behind-the-scenes perspectives that extend beyond the original publication. Then, stay to the end for an interactive Q&A and the chance to pose your own questions and connect directly with experts in the field. Don’t miss this opportunity to deepen your knowledge, spark new ideas, and engage with the very voices shaping lymphedema research and practice.

Note: Upon registration, a copy of the article is shared in advance so you can read, reflect, and arrive ready to dive deeper.
