The Consortium of Multiple Sclerosis Centers

The Consortium of Multiple Sclerosis Centers The pre-eminent organization of Multiple Sclerosis health care providers improving the lives of those affected by multiple sclerosis.

Organized in 1986 under the direction of neurologists interested in the clinical care of multiple sclerosis, CMSC has grown to become a multi-disciplinary organization providing a team approach to MS care and a network for all health care professionals and others specializing in the care of persons with MS. Since 1986, the CMSC has grown rapidly. We now have over 200 member centers in the United States, Canada, and Europe, representing over 4,000 health care professionals worldwide who provide care for more than 150,000 individuals with multiple sclerosis. Today, CMSC provides leadership in clinical research and education; develops vehicles to share information and knowledge among members; disseminates information to the health care community and to persons affected by Multiple Sclerosis; and develops and implements mechanisms to influence health care delivery. Through its CMSC North American Research Committee on Multiple Sclerosis (CMSC-NARCOMS) based at University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB), CMSC-NARCOMS maintains a patient registry, web site, expert forum and research registry to promote Multiple Sclerosis research. We have developed an online journal, the International Journal of Multiple Sclerosis Care (IJMSC) to promote multi-disciplinary approaches to treating persons with Multiple Sclerosis. These projects and others are just a few of the CMSC's activities. To learn about all of our projects, activities, and initiatives, you should join now and become a member of the CMSC team.
