Reflections from Past Attendees

“I enjoyed feeling like I could explore MS/neuroimmunology in a comprehensive manner. There was so much within the field that I wasn't aware of. It completely opened my eyes to opportunities to participate in research, education, and showed me the array of job opportunities in the field.”

“The program was really complete and interesting, all of the talks had actualized and useful information. Social events were perfect too.”

“It was educational and most appreciated that lectures covered the foundational concepts and science of MS/ pharmacology and research. It was such an honor to hear about MS from leaders in this field, to brain storm and have mentoring from those who can provide accurate direction. The leaders in this field were so supportive and embracing of the next generation of MS specialists which was incredibly inspiring.”
