Program Description

This CME activity aims to inform and update practitioners on current diagnostic and treatment practices for patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). This one-day live conference will present 10 topics on MS including an introduction to MS for general practice physicians, and then delve into more specific discussions like the radiologically isolated syndrome, early detection of MS mimics, neuromyelitis optica, vision problems, neurosarcoidosis, personalized patient care, the role of physical therapy, current and future disease modifying therapies, and useful “clinical pearls” for treating MS patients. Morning and afternoon panels will be available for audience questions.

Goals and Objectives

Upon completion of this program, the participant will be able to:

• Identify common mimics of multiple sclerosis;
• Describe current and emerging disease-modifying therapies;
• Interpret safety monitoring for new therapeutics;
• Describe the role of physical therapy in the management of multiple sclerosis;
• Identify biomarkers for the early diagnosis of multiple sclerosis;
• Recognize and better manage symptoms of multiple sclerosis.

Target Audience

This activity is intended for clinicians who care for patients with multiple sclerosis and other neuroimmunological disorders. We especially want to encourage neurologists, primary care physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, physical therapists and other allied health care professionals to attend.
