Teaching Course: 'Immunology of Working Mechanisms of DMT'
Multiple
sclerosis is a complex inflammatory disorder of the central nervous system.
This teaching course will provide a comprehensive overview of its basic
immunological background, followed by a more specific orientation towards the
mode of action of modern-age disease-modifying treatments. All this will be
illustrated by real-world clinical therapeutic reasoning.
The
programme is under development and will be published soon.
The
teaching course is targeted to all professionals interested in MS
(rehabilitation).
