• Self Study - Following the Trail of Evidence to Individualize and Optimize Multiple Sclerosis Care - Baseline Assessment

  This self-assessment will establish a baseline of your understanding of MS. It will assess your ability to diagnose patients with MS, individualize disease-modifying therapy (DMT), and switch treatment if disease progression is observed.

• Self Study - Module 1 - Exploring the Use of Diagnostic Tools to Improve Early Detection of MS

  In this first module, we describe a patient vignette to spearhead a discussion on the diagnostic criteria for MS, including recent data with respect to the potential role of neurofilament as an MS biomarker.

• Self Study - Module 2 - Examining the Evidence for Early Initiation of Disease-Modifying Therapy

  This second module focuses on the current clinical trial findings and real-world data regarding the long-term efficacy and safety of DMT for MS.

• Self Study - Module 3 - Clinical Insights on When and How to Switch DMT in Patients With a Suboptimal Treatment Response

  In this third module, we outline best-practice recommendations for monitoring disease progression and switching DMT when appropriate. In addition, we describe a case scenario to illustrate the practical application of these principles.

• Self Study - Following the Trail of Evidence to Individualize and Optimize Multiple Sclerosis Care - Final Assessment

  This self-assessment will examine whether you improved your knowledge and competence with respect to MS diagnosis and management following completion of the 3 self-study modules.

• Live Group Discussion #1

  This live discussion will offer an interactive approach to providing optimal care to patients with MS. Topics discussed will include diagnosis and referral, available medical therapies, and patient-specific treatment selection.

• Live Group Discussion #2

  This live discussion will focus on reviewing the patient case and group tasks and how the findings can apply to caring for current or future patients with MS. We will discuss the submitted tasks and any challenges or clinical controversies associated with these findings.

• Female with foggy vision in her left eye with a dull ache and color issues for 6 weeks.

  This group task will focus on the differential diagnosis of suspected MS.

• Male with an 8-year history of RRMS with disease worsening despite glatiramer acetate therapy.

  This group task will focus on the management of a patient with RRMS.
