Best Practices for SMA in an Evolving Treatment Era: Advantages & Challenges of Multidisciplinary Care
Building on the success of our first spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) continuing medical education conference in 2019, the education and training of the healthcare community continues. In this era of disease-specific treatments for individuals with SMA, the options for multidisciplinary medical and rehabilitative management are continuing to expand.
Optimal management and treatment recommendations are evolving while ethical considerations are weighed to treat and manage patients with SMA effectively. The goal of the course is to enhance the understanding of medical and rehabilitative management of SMA for healthcare providers who practice within or outside specialized centers, including physicians; advanced care providers; physical, occupational, and speech therapists; nurses; social workers, or other complex care team members.
As more individuals with SMA are being diagnosed earlier, treated more effectively, and living longer lives, community providers are increasingly engaged with this population and the groundbreaking therapeutics that are revolutionizing their care. Furthermore, novel treatments will soon require similar care consideration for many other neuromuscular disorders.
