Description
Due to the complex challenges presented by multiple sclerosis, the ever-changing landscape of treatment options, and the evolving nature of care trends for patients, it is vitally important that clinicians treating MS patients have access to the latest information available regarding the disease. Journal articles are a perfect example of the timely education that is required to keep pace with the current clinical environment. These articles are normally fairly brief, which allows busy practitioners to fit education into their schedule in manageable blocks of time. Additionally, research which is newly published in journals, typically contains the most up-to-date information available, eliminating the need to check for accuracy.
These live and enduring webinars will offer continuing education credits for physicians, PAs, nursing professionals, and pharmacists (if applicable) and will occur every other month for five sessions. Following the live broadcast, the event will be archived for one year.
Target Audience
This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of physicians, PAs, nursing professionals, pharmacists, and other members of the healthcare team involved in the management of patients with MS.
Learning Objectives
Upon completing this activity, participants should be better able to:
Identify the latest research and clinical information available in the literature with regard to MS diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring
