About

Personal Statement:
I am interested in treating and managing rheumatic diseases. A clinical and research focus of mine is treating a condition called vasculitis. This is a rare and serious condition causing impaired blood flow to the organs. Some of my research is looking at how patients cope with the disease throughout their lives and how specialists diagnose vasculitis and care for patients. Medical education is also a great interest of mine, as is quality improvement in clinical care.  

Dr. Elaine Yacyshyn graduated in medicine from the University of Alberta, followed by residency in internal medicine at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. She then completed fellowships in rheumatology and geriatrics, also at the Mayo Clinic. 

Leadership and Collaborations:
Dr. Yacyshyn has completed several leadership courses. She is an elected representative of the Faculty Affairs Committee and of the AMHSP Management Committee for the Department of Medicine, and co-chair of the University of Alberta Post-Graduate Medical Education Quality Improvement Curriculum Development Committee. She is a principal core member of the CanVasc Network, a Canadian Vasculitis research collaborative network. Dr. Yacyshyn is also a member of the Mayo Clinic Alumni Association Board of Directors.


Research

Dr. Yacyshyn’s areas of research interest include vasculitis, medical education, and quality improvement. 

She is principal investigator and co-investigator on several clinical trails of drugs for rheumatic diseases. Her research has received numerous grants from regional and national organizations, including industry, and has resulted in many publications, abstracts, review and Delphi papers, and case reports.


Teaching

Dr. Yacyshyn is an award-winning educator who is actively involved in training medical students, graduate students, residents and fellow physicians in rheumatology and clinical skills. She provides clinical supervision at the University of Alberta Hospital.
