This program features 12 essential topics addressed by experts in the field at a monthly interval. Organized and curated by GJCF advisors, this series of educational webinars enables continuing medical education (CME) credit.

Session entitled “Evaluating & Optimizing Patient Visual Health” is designed to update knowledge important for recognizing optic neuritis and visual deficits as manifestations of NMOSD onset or relapse. Diagnosis and clinical management are emphasized as part of a holistic plan for patient care. This topic reflects the need for real-world clinical care to keep pace with NMOSD patients living longer and more dynamic lives in the era of approved therapeutics.
