If you are in Europe, otherwise there are other similar conferences like AAN in the US. A very interesting post on another medical blog about the change in the habits and abilities of the professionals that attend. Heck, even Shift.ms sends a team! Here is a clipping. >>> Conferences traditionally play an important role in the ongoing medical education of healthcare professionals. We assessed the influence of attending the ECTRIMS congress on therapeutic decision-making in multiple sclerosis (MS) care. A non-interventional, cross-sectional study involving 96 neurologists was conducted. Treatment escalation when therapeutic goals were unmet and management errors related to tolerability and safety scenarios of MS therapies were tested using different case-scenarios. Attendance at ECTRIMS was associated with an increasing likelihood of treatment escalation in the presence of clinical progression (cognitive decline) and radiological activity (OR 2.44; 95% CI 1.06-5.82) and lower number of management errors (OR 0.26; 95% CI 0.07-0.98). Attendance at ECTRIMS may facilitate therapeutic decisions and reduction in management errors in MS care. It's not just a jolly, people go to the AAN and ECTRIMS to learn.so that they can apply the knowledge to their practice. <<<
