PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
This Provider and Caregiver Connection provides a 2-fold activity. First, a patient with multiple sclerosis (MS) and their caregiver engage in a discussion with a neurologist and a nurse practitioner specializing in neurological rehabilitation. Topics in this straightforward, impactful discussion include initial diagnosis, importance of multidisciplinary team interaction and practical, proactive lifestyle adjustments, and ways to overcome challenges. In the second part, a multidisciplinary team individually answers questions—from early, efficacious treatment to new and emerging disease modifying treatments (DMTs) to treatment escalation, all with a patient-centered approach.

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
After completing this activity, clinicians should be better able to:Describe the concept of neurological reserve and the impact of early, efficacious treatmentIdentify appropriate patient resources to improve disease knowledge, symptom reporting and treatment optionsReview the mechanisms of actions and safety considerations for each DMTArticulate considerations and timing when switching to a new treatmentModel a multidisciplinary treatment strategy to improve the management of patients with MS
