In this issue:

A “comprehensive MS center” — what is it? Which clinicians comprise a “multidisciplinary MS care team?” How does comprehensive MS care work in practice? How does it benefit patients?

That’s the focus of this non-CME-accredited eMultipleSclerosis Review podcast, where we answer those questions and more, with our special guest, Dr. Jacqueline Nicholas, System Chief of Neuroimmunology and Multiple Sclerosis at the OhioHealth Multiple Sclerosis Center. 

Learning objectives:

Discuss how patients with MS can benefit from a multidisciplinary team approach throughout the course of their disease.
Discuss how empowering patients with MS through education, information, and involvement in care can achieve improved health outcomes and quality of life.
