Registration 1:00 PM – 1:30 PM
Meeting 1:30 PM– 5:00 PM
USF Health Center for Advanced Medical Learning and Simulation (CAMLS)
124 South Franklin Street
Tampa, Florida 33602
Clinicians who manage multiple sclerosis (MS) patients are continually challenged in understanding this evolving disease, as its etiology remains unknown. Additionally, the importance of early diagnosis; treatment and monitoring of disease progression; and ongoing awareness of the existing versus new treatment modalities, risks versus benefits of each treatment, and patient communication is crucial to successful management of MS.
This half-day regional meeting incorporates a combination of brief presentations, small-group discussion with expert feedback, and application of simulated storytelling through patient cases in a virtual patient care center at the Center for Advanced Medical Learning and Simulation. These active learning techniques and discussions will provide neurology learners with the ability to practice their skills and increase the likelihood for overall improved care to future MS patients.
