This makes the role of the psychologists critical in providing comprehensive and optimal care to MS patients,” said June Halper, MSN, APN-C, MSCN, FAAN, Chief Executive Officer, CMSC. In addition to the APA accredited sessions, the Cooperative Meeting of CMSC & ACTRIMS® will also have a dinner for MS Mental Health Professionals (MS/MHP) on Wednesday, May 28th that will provide an opportunity for network development of this growing group within CMSC. Dr. Frederick W. Foley, Chair of the Psychosocial Research Interest Group, spearheaded the effort to obtain APA accreditation. The APA approved sessions are relevant to psychological practice, education and science; enable psychologists to keep pace with emerging issues and technologies; The 2014 Cooperative Meeting of CMSC & ACTRIMS®, which includes a robust agenda of lectures, workshops, symposia, roundtables, and networking opportunities, also provides CME for physicians as well as continuing education credits for nurses, pharmacists, and social workers.
