  • Overview

    This program examines the significant challenges encompassing the management of Multiple Sclerosis (MS), including the need for quick and effective screening tools to help clinicians increase early diagnosis and the initiation of therapy. While there is currently no cure for MS, the treatment landscape is rapidly changing, and this program provides a review of best practice guidelines and emerging treatment strategies, including the S1P drug treatment class. There are also inequities relating to the level of care white patients with MS receive compared to non-white patients with MS, especially African Americans and Hispanic-Latinx. This program educates clinicians on the racial and ethnic disparities that produce barriers for minorities concerning MS diagnosis and treatment and helps close the gap. 

  • Target Audience

    • Provide clinical knowledge regarding the role and impact of the most current S1P modulators for multiple sclerosis symptom management
    • Examine the evolution of the treatment landscape of the past 30 years and outline best practices to enhance decision-making focusing on long- and short-term disease-modifying therapies
