Upon completion of A 360° Approach to Translating MS Data into Optimal Practice, you should be better able to:
• Analyze data from clinical trials of disease modifying therapies to inform personalized treatment and monitoring of outcomes for patients with MS
• Access reliable and evidence-based resources in order to stay current with advances in the management of MS
• Integrate new and emerging information on the pathophysiology of MS, including modifiable risk factors, in the development of individualized treatment plans
