More than 2,000 members of the multiple sclerosis care, advocacy, research, and patient communities will gather in Nashville, Tenn., May 30–June 2 for the annual meeting of the Consortium of Multiple Sclerosis Centers.
Dozens of topics will be discussed, ranging from complementary/alternative therapies, ethics, and neuropsychiatry to neuroimmunology and disease models, relapse management, and self-care. Clinicians also will tackle sensitive topics such as suicide, depression, and cognitive impairment.
“Accredited continuing education will be offered for MDs, registered nurses, pharmacists, occupational therapists, physical therapists, social workers, and psychologists,” said Gary Cutter, PhD, president of the CMSC. “Our offerings include beginner courses, advanced science sessions, rehab and mental health tracks, platform and poster sessions, and roundtables.”
“We’ll discuss meds for progressive forms of MS as well as targeted therapies based on new information from genetics,” Dr. Cutter said. Participants will also gain insight from registries and other data sources, he added.
Lecture topics will include the use of computerized screening for cognitive dysfunction in the MS clinic and new research into MS pathology.
Other sessions will explore the use of cannabis, infusion therapies, respiratory enhancement, and a new class of medications for blocking lipid metabolism. Rehabilitation will also be a major focus.
One session will examine MS in patients before conception, during pregnancy, and in the postpartum period. Another session will explore suicide in MS and discuss how clinics can identify and help patients at risk.
The annual CMSC conference stands apart because it’s a “relatively unique meeting where the entire MS treatment team, researchers, and persons with MS can interact and discuss the complex issues in MS care,” Dr. Cutter said. “Much of this takes place outside of the formal program but can still have major impact on all of us. The enthusiasm of the young attendees is always amazing. They are supported, involved, and encouraged.”
