Overview

MS is the most common neurological disease to cause disability in young adults. More than one million people are living with MS in the US today. The field of multiple sclerosis is continually advancing as we improve our understanding of the disease and refine our approach to management.

There have been major updates over the past several years to the understanding of disease phenotype, approach to treatment, and improvements in imaging modalities. This hybrid (in-person and virtual attendance) symposium will update providers on these changes to enable improved clinical care and patient outcomes.


Objectives
  1. Describe the biologic basis of disease and role of the environment in the development of multiple sclerosis
  2. Better navigate the use of immunomodulatory medications throughout different phases of the MS disease course
  3. Identify consensus diagnostic criteria and general approach to treatment for patients with myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-mediated disease (MOG-AD)
  4. Review the appropriate use of neuroimaging techniques in diagnosis and monitoring disease progression for patients with multiple sclerosis
