DYSPNEA 2018 - Montreal!


The Dyspnea Society is an international multidisciplinary community that aims to advance scientific knowledge of dyspnea (breathlessness) and its translation to clinical practice.  The Dyspnea Society's international scientific meeting serves an important role in addressing these aims by bringing together researchers, trainees, clinical professionals and industry stakeholders with a shared interest in better understanding the complex and multifactorial symptom of dyspnea.


The Dyspnea Society's 5th international scientific meeting is being hosted by McGill University in beautiful downtown Montreal, Quebec, Canada on June 21-22, 2018.  The scientific program will include presentations on the Mechanisms, Measurement and Management of Dyspnea from established and emerging leaders in the field.


We look forward to seeing you at Dyspnea 2018 in Montreal!


Dennis Jensen and Sara Abdallah, on behalf of the scientific program committee.
