Telelearning opportunity for connection program volunteers
Making comfortable treatment decisions: Tips for thinking clearly about
benefits and risks
With new MS treatments approved and many others being promoted on the Internet and in the social media, treatment choices are becoming increasingly complex.
Wednesday, Feb. 8, 2012, noon-1 p.m. CT (11 a.m. - noon MT)
Topics to discuss during the 60-minute call include:
- How can one distinguish facts from wishful thinking or a sales pitch?
- How does one weigh potential benefits against possible risks?
- What if the patient and doctor don’t agree?
- What if family members have different opinions?
This telelearning session will provide you with up-to-date information about the treatment landscape and practical strategies for evaluating treatment options to share with group members and peers.
Questions can be submitted prior to the call.
