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 MS.

To be the pre-eminent organization of Multiple Sclerosis health care professionals whose goal is to improve the lives of those affected by multiple sclerosis.

Organized in 1986 under the direction of neurologists dedicated to clinical care of MS, the Consortium of Multiple Sclerosis Centers (CMSC) has evolved into a multi-disciplinary organization providing a team approach to MS care and a network for all health care professionals and related specialists in the care of persons with MS. Since 1986, the CMSC has grown rapidly. With over 250 member centers in the United States and Canada, represents over 12,000 health care professionals worldwide who provide care for more than 250,000 individuals with MS and their families.

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. The CMSC is approved as a provider of continuing education to physicians, nursing professionals, pharmacists, occupational therapists, and psychologists and its accredited activities have educated thousands of healthcare professionals about the spectrum of needs in MS.

The North American Research Committee on Multiple Sclerosis (NARCOMS) based at Washington University in St. Louis, maintains a patient-derived registry, web site, and expert forum that has yielded invaluable information on topics such as comorbidities and MS. NARCRMS, a clinician led registry, is a longitudinal database that collects clinical, imaging, and biologic information from patients and will eventually yield invaluable information about its etiology and effective treatments. The CMSC has a journal in both hard copy and digital format, the International Journal of Multiple Sclerosis Care (IJMSC) that disseminates information on multi-disciplinary approaches to treating persons with Multiple Sclerosis. Each issue, published six times annually, contains accredited articles focusing on the team approach to MS care and research. These projects and others are just a few of the CMSC’s activities.
