UNIVERSITY CLASSES IN MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS VI

This year’s University Classes are centred around real life MS patients.

All questions arising in the clinical situation, will be discussed in the light of current knowledge and absence of knowledge.

Students will be immediately involved in this questioning.

Each session concerns a main clinical aspect: natural course of disease, Clinical Isolated Syndrome, disability and Neuromyelitis Optica Devic.

 

The courses will highly interest general neurologists, neurologists in training, rehabilitation specialists, urologists, ophthalmologists, basic researchers and pharma employees.

 

Teachers are chosen from the highest ranks of Multiple Sclerosis Research in Europe and will be present during the whole day: Intimacy with excellence for the students.

 

This "University Classes in Multiple Sclerosis VI” course has been organised on November 11, 2009 in the Pestana Palace Hotel, Lisbon, Portugal, preceding the European Charcot Foundation Symposium "A new Treatment Era in Multiple Sclerosis”.
