Various meetings also take place during CMSC including research updates, committee meetings, multi-disciplinary collaborations, exhibits, discussions, and social events.

Each day at CMSC will be jam-packed from morning to evening with events, meetings and exhibiting and we also managed to work in two patient education programs in the DC and Baltimore areas. CMSC will keep us busy, but we’re excited to learn more about where the world of MS and general care is headed and how MS Cure Fund fits into the bigger picture. While our primary focus is MS patients, learning how patients can better their routines will certainly contribute to our own mission. The first step in educating patients is to receive education ourselves. Therefore, this is not only a great opportunity to extend our potential to help, but it will also allow us to learn how we can provide better education for those living with MS. We’re looking forward to all of the opportunities that will come out of CMSC!
