Patient Resources - Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is challenging. The course of the disease can be unpredictable with a wide range of symptoms. Response to treatment can be variable. A diagnosis of MS can be initially overwhelming to individuals and their families. Shared decision making defined as open communication between the health care provider and the patient about treatment options, risks and benefits that involves the patient in the decision making to the extent that they desire is a first step in the patient’s journey.
Under the direction of leading neurologists, CME Outfitters has designed these videos, resources, and tools to address frequently asked questions and to help patients increase their knowledge about their MS. It is our goal that the education will contribute to improved and informed discussions between patients and health care providers in the management of MS.
