Course Summary and Outline
Over the past few years there have been substantial changes in our understanding of and exciting developments in the management of multiple sclerosis (MS). Many clinicians will have contact with people with MS but, with increasing diagnostic and treatment complexities, MS management may be daunting or overwhelming for non-MS specialists.

- Diagnosis and differential diagnosis of MS
- Neuroimaging in MS
- Infections and vaccinations
- Clinical course and prognosis in MS
