Multiple sclerosis is a disease where patients and their caregivers must face difficult, life-altering news regarding disease progression, increased functional disability, and diminished quality of life. Providing an explanation for the diagnosis of MS requires that physicians and the multidisciplinary team improve the "scientific and human quality of the information given to their patients" and that physicians are adept at articulate and empathetic counseling techniques. In this neuroscienceCME Webcast, expert faculty will discuss empathetic counseling protocols for communicating with patients, several therapeutic modalities for rehabilitation, quality of life assessments, and the importance of coordinating a multidisciplinary team across the continuum of care.
