Summary: Host: Mark S. Freedman, MSc, MD, FANA, FAAN, CSPQ, FRCPC <br> Host: Bianca Weinstock-Guttman, MD <br> <p>This program examines the significant challenges encompassing the management of Multiple Sclerosis (MS), including the need for quick and effective screening tools to help clinicians increase early diagnosis and the initiation of therapy. While there is currently no cure for MS, the treatment landscape is rapidly changing, and this program provides a review of best practice guidelines and emerging treatment strategies, including the S1P drug treatment class. There are also inequities relating to the level of care white patients with MS receive compared to non-white patients with MS, especially African Americans and Hispanic-Latinx. This program educates clinicians on the racial and ethnic disparities that produce barriers for minorities concerning MS diagnosis and treatment and helps close the gap. </p>
