Live Satellite Symposium
at the ACTRIMS 2017 Forum
The Emerging Role of Selective S1P-Based Therapeutics in the Management of Patients with Multiple Sclerosis
Overview
This live, interactive satellite symposium at the ACTRIMS Forum 2017 will highlight recent updates in Sphingosine-1-Phosphate Science (S1P) for the treatment of patients with multiple sclerosis. Five expert faculty will analyze clinical trial data regarding selective S1P-based therapeutics and review methods of utilization for the management of patients with MS. Optimal shared decision making strategies, particularly in regards to patient education techniques, will be discussed. Faculty will provide the learners with a better understanding of best practices for implementing recent data in practice.
Target Audience
Neurologists, and other healthcare professionals who care for patients with multiple sclerosis.
Learning Objectives
