Program Description:
Treatment adjustments are common throughout the often-unpredictable course of relapsing multiple sclerosis (MS). While recent advances in therapy have significantly improved patient outcomes, clinical decision-making has become more complex due to the expanding array of disease-modifying therapies (DMTs). Determining the optimal timing to initiate high-efficacy DMTs or when and how to switch therapies remains a persistent challenge for clinicians. This dynamic CE program features an interactive Curbside Consults format, where MS experts engage in practical discussions around real-world clinical scenarios. Learners will gain evidence-based insights into key decision points in relapsing MS management, including early treatment initiation and strategic therapy switching—empowering them to make informed choices that support long-term patient outcomes.
