PLEASE NOTE: This program does not accept WCB patients. Patients with a WCB claim should be referred by their case manager to the visiting specialist clinic at WCB.

The Edmonton Bone and Joint Centre will provide the following:

• A dedicated fax line ((780) 457-4393) that will be open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
• Referral triage, referral waitlist management, and communication to referring physicians on the status of the referral.
• Assessment appointments to assess surgical candidacy provided by a physician and physical therapist team for all accepted referrals. Patients who are deemed surgical will be sent on to see a shoulder surgeon. Although specific surgeons may be requested, it is recommended that patients be referred to the next available surgeon to ensure timely access.
• A detailed plan of care for the patient, which will be communicated to the referring physician.
