Bridge the latest MS research directly to the clinic. This course connects current evidence with real-time clinical decision-making, giving clinicians the tools to apply what they learn immediately, not just understand it in theory.

Building on concepts introduced through Myelin Mentors, this hands-on course translates knowledge into practice through case-based learning and live clinical discussion. Herb will lead the group through live co-treats with multiple patient volunteers living with MS at different stages of disease progression, giving clinicians direct exposure to how treatment decisions shift across the full spectrum of the disease.
