When it comes to MS care, we know a lot about what works but getting those best practices into every clinic and to every person living with MS can be challenging. That’s where implementation science comes in. In this webinar, Dr. Maria Fernandez will explore how this growing field helps turn proven research into everyday practice, making MS care more effective, consistent, and equitable. You’ll learn how implementation science identifies real-world barriers and works to ensure that high-quality care reaches everyone, everywhere. Whether you’re newly diagnosed or have been living with MS for years, this session offers insight into how research is being applied to improve care for all.
