PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
A Think Tank initiative was conducted where multiple sclerosis (MS), rheumatology, transplant, infectious disease, and key community-based clinicians came together as a group to discuss important concepts in managing MS, shared and unique pathophysiologic pathways between MS and other autoimmune disease, and issues that clinicians face as they strive to provide the best care possible for their patients with MS. This Clinical Dialogue program, focusing on the autoimmune basis of MS and other diseases, pathways for therapeutic intervention, and the clinical implications of long-term immunosuppression is the outcome of this in-depth, intensive, and cooperative engagement.

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of this educational activity, participants should be able to:Explain the autoimmune basis of MSDiscuss shared and unique pathophysiologic pathways between MS and other autoimmune diseasesOutline mechanisms of action of current and investigational MS therapiesList the major considerations associated with long-term immunosuppression in treating MSOutline strategies to address the consequences of long-term immunosuppression in treating MS
