21st Annual Meeting of the
Consortium of Multiple Sclerosis Centers
The Challenges of MS Care and Research
May 30 - June 2, 2007
Washington Hilton & Towers
Washington, DC
Indeed, 'the world of MS has changed with the advent of advances in technology, immunology, disease modification and a new philosophy of care and caring'(CMSC CenterPiece Debut issue). For this 21st gathering of the CMSC at annual meeting, we enjoyed richly full days of clinical courses covering aspects of patient care, research efforts, and ways to perform and practice more effectively. What broad expertise we represented through our many disciplines, communities, and personal gifts. Jointly meeting with IOMSN, LACTRIMS and ACTRIMS, The VA Special Interest Group, and welcoming the newly formed MS Coalition of so many dedicated not for profit groups, allowed us to sincerely follow the 'One Team One Dream' theme with a global flavor.
From opening ceremonies, keynote speeches, dinners, courses and workshops, to an amazing exhibit hall, posters and presentations and symposia, Annual Meeting 2007 will be recorded as one of our finest. We remembered friends no longer with us and greeted new ones. Please explore and expand your experience with the many offerings here on the website, savor the memories, and mark your calendars for next year in Denver (May 28-31, 2008).
