Independent CME Dinner Symposium

Overview

This interactive, CME dinner symposium held in conjunction with the Advanced Curriculum for Multiple Sclerosis 2018 will highlight individualized therapeutic strategies of switching and sequencing to improve outcomes for patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). Five expert faculty will review methods for predicating and monitoring disease therapy in the MS patient population. Recent clinical trial data, as it relates to clinical practice, will be analyzed. The faculty will utilize an interactive panel format to debate optimal strategies for selecting and switching therapies in the MS landscape. This CME program will provide clinicians with vital information for improving healthcare outcomes in patients with multiple sclerosis.
