ACCREDITED PROVIDER
This activity is provided by The France Foundation
TARGET AUDIENCE
This activity is intended for neurologists, advanced practice providers, nurses, pharmacists, and other members of the MS care team.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Clinicians are tasked with keeping up with new developments in the understanding of MS pathology and related mechanisms of action (MOAs), as well as considerations and precautions associated with new and emerging treatment agents. Clinicians remain challenged by the need for, and timing of, optimal initial and subsequent treatment choice. While shared decision-making (SDM) in MS is widely recognized as a way to include the patient voice and facilitate patient-centered care, experts agree that it is an underutilized tool.
