Patient Education Tools and Resources

AANP-Developed MS Resources

AANP, in collaboration with educational partner Med-IQ and four expert NPs, has developed a series of educational resources to help NPs start important conversations with patients about strategies for living well with MS. The goal of these resources is to improve the recognition of potential MS resources and encourage patients to discuss issues they may be having with their NPs. The development of these materials is supported by an educational grant from Teva Pharmaceuticals.

• Living Your Best Life With MS.
• Questions to Help Patients Live Well With MS.
