BALTIMORE, MD—May 6, 2014—Registration is now underway for the complimentary, live CME/CE workshop series, MS Masters Interactive Workshop Series: Contemporary Strategies in the Management of Multiple Sclerosis.
Neurologists, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants are invited to join nationally renowned faculty to explore the evolving MS treatment landscape during this interactive, 2-hour CME/CE workshop.
“Optimal patient management is predicated on the individualization of therapy and the ongoing monitoring of treatment response; however, the rapid evolution of the MS evidence base, combined with the lack of a one-size-fits-all approach, introduces significant practice challenges for the neurology providers who manage this patient population,” said Robert T. Naismith, MD, of the John L. Trotter Multiple Sclerosis Center at Washington University.
Participants will explore optimal treatment strategies for patients with MS through evidence- and case-based discussions on the selection of initial therapy, assessment of treatment response, and individualization of therapy.
Med-IQ, an award-winning, ACCME-accredited provider of CME, is excited to host this CME/CE workshop series in 10 cities this summer.
