As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have learned valuable lessons pertinent to MS care. This includes knowledge about COVID-19 severity and infection risk (especially as it relates to DMT selection), a much greater understanding of how DMTs affect SARS-CoV-2 vaccine responses, ways to potentially optimize vaccine responses, and the role of telemedicine. This program covers some of these major lessons learned about MS care. The Gather-ed collaborative social learning platform establishes a network of providers who can support each other with the goal of learning and sharing best practices that will improve outcomes for patients with MS.
The following questions are intended to assess your knowledge and practice of key aspects in the management of patients with MS and COVID.
This module gives consideration to the risks of infection and infection severity in people with MS.
This module will discuss considerations for starting, continuing or switching DMTs during COVID-19.
The following questions are intended to assess your gained knowledge and practice of key aspects in the management of patients with MS and COVID.
