Faculty: Francois Bethoux, MD | Susan E. Bennett, PT, EdD, NCS | Patricia Kennedy, RN, CNP, MSCN | Randall T. Schapiro, MD
While there is no cure for Multiple Sclerosis, effective symptom management can greatly enhance quality of life. Long-term success is dependent on the early detection of symptoms and the development of a comprehensive care plan. This may be achieved with a combination of pharmacologic therapies, supportive services, and referral to specialists when necessary. In this program, our esteemed faculty discuss the benefits of a multidisciplinary care team consisting of neurologists, nurses, physiatrists, psychiatrists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, and speech therapists.

This program focuses on the signs and symptoms of multiple sclerosis, its affect on quality of life, and current pharmacologic and rehabilitation treatment options. The program also contains an interesting case study.
