Join Barb for a 2-hour update on the pathophysiology of multiple sclerosis, the role of\u00a0genetics. geographic location, risk factors, and the role of the immune system. \u00a0Four specific disease courses of MS will be : Clinically Isolated Syndrome [CIS]), Relapsing-Remitting MS [RRMS], \u00a0Secondary Progressive MS [SPMS], and Primary Progressive MS [PPMS] will be described and discussed as to their clinical presentation and progression, and the various treatment modalities for each type.
