This program offers a dual presentation between two medical professionals where one presents the risks and benefits of changing therapies from a physician’s standpoint, while another medical professional presents the risks and benefits from a patient’s standpoint. Patients leave better equipped with the confidence and backing to discuss chasing their therapies in line with the latest updates in MS. The program ends with a variety of role-plays between the “doctor” and “patient” that demonstrate what conversations in a doctor’s office may look like.
