This activity will target neurologists, pediatricians, and geneticists, as well as other health care providers who may be involved in the management of patients with SMA.
This education focuses on the early diagnosis and treatment of SMA and the importance of newborn screening. Pre-symptomatic treatment of SMA can dramatically change the disease course and newborn screening is crucial to early detection and early treatment.
The rapid influx of information surrounding emerging treatments for SMA means that there are critical gaps in clinician knowledge and the ability to apply it in practice, creating a need for education to support clinicians who recognize, diagnose, and/or manage patients with SMA.
