Do you want to develop specialist skills in multiple sclerosis?
Research undertaken by Dr Riffat Tanveer has shown trainee neurologists largely feel unsupported in developing skills in this specialist area.
→ Complete our short survey to help us understand your views as a neurology trainee about pursuing a neurology sub-speciality.
In response to this, we are providing innovative, supportive MasterClass training to enhance trainee’s skills in multiple sclerosis (MS).
This interactive programme, led by national and international experts in MS aims to train a new generation of ‘MSologists’ and will provide graduated training, starting with Basecamp.
Basecamp, through lectures and interactive discussions will help you to develop your skills, Basecamp attendees will also be partnered with a mentor who will offer ongoing support.
Course objective:
The MS Academy Basecamp has been developed to educate trainees earlier in their careers, to cultivate an interest in MS. We hope by exposing trainees to modern MS management earlier, more trainees will be motivated to specialise in MS. Currently the curriculum provides only minimal information on the management of MS; however, by providing a dedicated training and support programme early, we are sure we will be able to generate an increased number of neurologists who want to specialise in MS.
Who is the course for?
This is a unique mentored educational opportunity for Internal Medicine Trainees years 1-3 (or equivalent).
"Good support & organisation. Speakers were very appropriate & gained a fantastic level of interaction."
