Introduction

The UC San Diego Multiple Sclerosis Program will host its inaugural MS Community Day: Journey of Hope in San Diego, California. This complimentary community event will bring together individuals living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS), family members, care partners, community supporters, clinicians, researchers, and advocates for a day of education, connection, and inspiration.

Attendees will have the opportunity to learn about the latest advances in MS care and research, explore wellness and support resources, engage with leading MS experts, and connect with others across the MS community. The program is designed to foster meaningful dialogue, encourage engagement in research and clinical innovation, and strengthen partnerships that advance care, scientific discovery, and quality of life for those affected by MS.

This educational event is designed for individuals living with multiple sclerosis (MS), their families, caregivers, care partners, and supporters. Whether you are living with MS, supporting a loved one, providing care, or interested in learning about the latest advances in MS care and research, this event offers an opportunity to gain knowledge, connect with others in the MS community, and access valuable educational resources.

The program is intended to support patient and caregiver education and foster meaningful connections within the MS community.

We hope this conference will become an annual tradition that brings the MS community together, promotes hope and collaboration, and supports continued progress toward better treatments, improved outcomes, and ultimately a cure for MS.

Please note that no CME credits will be offered for this event.
