C73 - Multiple Sclerosis Therapy: Disease-modifying Treatment II
| Event Time: | Sunday May 5, 2019 3:30 pm to 5:30 pm |
| Topic(s): | MS and CNS Inflammatory Disease, Foundations in Clinical Neurology for APPs |
| Director(s): | John Rose MD, FAAN |
| Description: | The use of disease-modifying treatments (DMTs) in MS is one of the most rapidly evolving therapeutic areas in neurology. As new and arguably more effective treatments have become available, decision-making in regard to MS DMTs has become much more complex for both neurologists and people with MS. This course will review the mechanisms of action and the risk-benefit ratios of the DMTs and delve into different treatment paradigms, risk mitigation strategies, sequencing considerations, and shared decision making. This program complements Multiple Sclerosis Therapy: Disease-modifying Treatment I, but covers independent topics. |
| Completion Message: | Participants should be familiar with the indications and risks associated with approved disease-modifying agents in multiple sclerosis, and be better able to identify the appropriate patient populations for the newer agents. |
| CME Credits: | 2 |
