Description: The goal of this initiative is to improve the care of patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). DMD is the most common childhood form of muscular dystrophy and characteristic manifestations are progressive muscle weakness, cardiorespiratory impairment, and premature death. Gene therapy provides a new avenue to treat life‐limiting neuromuscular disorders. Given the novelty of these therapies, clinicians involved in the care of patients with DMD may not be aware of their associated evidence and implementation. This collaborative social learning platform establishes a network of providers who can support each other locally, as well as those from different communities, with the goal of learning and sharing best practices that will improve outcomes for patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
