Neurology Case Challenges: Critical Decision Points in Accurate Diagnosis
WebcastFaculty
OVERVIEW
Neurology Case Challenges: Critical Decision Points in Accurate Diagnosis is organized by Global Academy For Medical Education and will be held Sep 01, 2017 - Oct 31, 2018.
The target audience for this medical event is neurologists, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and registered nurses involved in the diagnosis and management of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). Primary care physicians who manage and/or treat a high volume of patients with neurological conditions will benefit as well. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 1.00 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits.
The recent approval and availability of a multitude of new options for MS management has led clinicians to reconsider their approach to the diagnosis of the disease, as well as the timing, approach, and aggressiveness of initial treatment. MS symptoms may often be subclinical or incorrectly attributed to another cause, potentially delaying treatment until the disease has already begun to progress. Earlier and more accurate diagnosis to guide treatment offers opportunities to improve patient outcomes and quality of life. Learning Objectives:
At the conclusion of this activity, the participant will be able to:
• Discuss the role of radiologically isolated syndromes (RIS) and clinically isolated syndromes (CIS) in diagnosing and monitoring MS.
• Describe recent updates to established MS disease phenotypes and discuss their application in clinical practice.
• Recognize the importance of early diagnosis and treatment in reducing disability progression.
• Identify important risk factors impacting the onset, severity, and progression of MS.
• Understand and apply recent discoveries and emerging therapies in the management of patients with MS.
Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
