Canadian Orthopaedic Research Legacy (CORL)

What legacy will you leave?

Reliable long term funding for orthopaedic research is a necessity for propelling the profession forward to best practices and continuous innovation. The Canadian Orthopaedic Research Legacy program enables orthopaedic surgeons to make designated donations to ensure continued Canadian research in orthopaedics. Anyone can donate through CORL, however the founding of this special fund is open only to surgeons and residents to March 31, 2005.
