StudyCompanion: Keeping up in Advances in MS: Cases in Diagnosis and Treatment, A Case-Based Roadmap for Improved Patient Outcomes in Multiple Sclerosis

Target Audience
This activity is intended for neurologists, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and allied healthcare professionals who diagnose and manage patients with MS.

Program Overview
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, progressive, and disabling inflammatory neurologic condition that causes more disability than any other nontraumatic neurologic condition. Early diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of disease progression is fundamental to optimizing management of patients with MS. Join Edward Fox, MD, PhD, and Matthew Schindler, MD, PhD, in an interactive case-based roadmap for improved outcomes in patients with MS. In addition to addressing diagnostic challenges, Drs. Fox and Schindler share their insights into integrating advances in the pharmacologic treatment of patients with MS, focusing on the safety and efficacy of targeted therapies.

Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to:

Apply the diagnostic criteria and diagnostic algorithms to diagnose a patient with MS.
Select a treatment plan for a patient with MS that is consistent with the state-of-the-art in MS care.
Recognize a patient with a highly active MS presentation or a poor prognosis.
Recognize adverse event prevention, monitoring, and/or mitigation strategies.
