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 is Vice Dean, Faculty Affairs, Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry.

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.
