Our study shows encouraging results in terms of diversity and inclusion amongst Canadian neurointerventionalists regarding the representation of various specialty backgrounds, immigrants, and visible minorities. NIR centers are distributed according to population density and better coverage is needed in smaller communities and remote/isolated areas. Both women and men Canadian neurointerventionalists seem to have a favourable life-work balance. Gaps still exist regarding inclusion of first nations and women which are under-represented among Canadian Neurointerventionalists. Women however are proportionally serving in leadership positions.
