About Session
(pre-conference)
This session is not open to the public. Attendance requires registration for the full conference and a confirmed place, either as a participating clinician learner or as a patient with a booked lipedema assessment.
The Doctor Is In Clinic is a hands-on teaching clinic in which the leading experts in lipedema care, serving as our faculty educators, assess patients alongside Canadian physicians and nurse practitioners.
The format serves two purposes at once. Patients who have waited years for answers receive a formal lipedema diagnosis, while clinicians gain supervised, real-world experience in the complete head to toe assessment. Guided by a faculty educator and built on a standardized method, the clinic functions as a mentored, fellowship-style preceptorship in lipedema diagnosis.
For patients, it is a rare opportunity to be properly assessed. Fifty-eight appointments are available at no cost, offered first come, first served. A confirmed appointment is required to attend.
For patients: A confirmed appointment must be booked in advance. Following your assessment, you may also book a fitting for medical grade compression garments. These measurement appointments must also be booked in advance and are available on September 10, 11, and 12 on a first come, first served basis. Conditions apply.
For clinicians: Register through the University of Manitoba website on our registration page. Conditions apply.
