Episode 183: Racial and Ethnic Disparities in MS with Dr. Mitzi Joi Williams

When it comes to accessing care and even the disease course itself, MS is not an equal-opportunity disease. We're talking with Dr. Mitzi Joi Williams about the disparities that affect members of minority populations who are living with MS.

Dr. Williams is a Board-Certified Neurologist and Multiple Sclerosis Specialist who is passionate about educating and empowering people affected by MS to understand the disease process and the goals of treatment. And Dr. Williams is an expert in understanding MS in underserved and minority populations.

We're also inviting you to participate in the first-ever RealTalk MS Listener Survey (and be entered into a drawing for a $100 Amazon Gift Card!).

We'll tell you about a call by the International Progressive MS Alliance to improve clinical trials.

We'll share research announced at last week's ACTRIMS Forum that suggests there is an alarming amount of opioid use among people living with MS.

We're also talking about a newly launched digital music therapy program that you can access from home.

And we're sharing this month's CAN-DO MS programs that are all focused on building resilience.

We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS??!
