CMSC Virtual Annual Meeting 2020

The Consortium of Multiple Sclerosis Centers (CMSC) Virtual Annual Meeting took place between Tuesday 26th and Friday 29th May 2020. The packed programme was available to attend online, and several of MS Academy faculty, and MS specialist nurses associated with the Academy, attended the sessions.
