ASK AN EXPERT Rethink Medication Management with MedManageSCI: A Toolkit for Medication Self-Management for Adults with SCI

MedManageSCI is a comprehensive web-based toolkit to support medication management for the spinal cord injury/dysfunction (SCI/D) community. It was co-developed by researchers, adults with SCI/D, care partners and healthcare providers from across Canada. MedManageSCI is now live and the team is looking for feedback!
