Young Scientist Summit 2025 participants and faculty must be logged in to ACTRIMS account in order to access this course's content.
A core value of ACTRIMS is to mentor and support the careers of students, neurology residents, postdoctoral fellows, and junior faculty interested in clinical neuroimmunology and/or clinical MS, including:
• MS diagnostic criteria,
• Clinical subtypes,
• Epidemiology,
• Human neuropathology,
• Animal models: strengths and weaknesses,
• The current therapeutic landscape in MS, and
• Mechanisms of action of disease modifying therapies.
The long-term goal is to bridge the gap between bench and bedside research, fostering collaboration between PhD investigators and their physician colleagues.
Applicants may be graduate students (Masters, PhD, MD/PhD), medical students, research associates, postdoctoral fellows, or junior faculty with a research interest in MS
Distributors may purchase multiple copies of packages to distribute to learners, and follow their progress. Bulk discounts are below.
