TREAT-NMD Education Commitee

Significant progress is being made in our understanding, diagnosis and management of neuromuscular diseases. There is a need to ensure that clinicians and other healthcare providers around the world involved in diagnosing, managing, treating and caring for patients living with neuromuscular diseases have access to information on the latest recommended practice and development, training and education.

TREAT-NMD recognised this need and created a range of masterclasses and a number of other education initiatives. The growing demand for these events led to the formation of the TREAT-NMD Education Committee (TEC). While the focus of TEC is on health care professionals, the Committee aspires to educate all stakeholders involved in the management and therapeutic development of NMD patients, including patients and families, industry colleagues and regulators.

Established in 2018, the TREAT-NMD Education Committee (TEC) is a board of experts (academics and patient representatives) who are affiliated with TREAT-NMD and have an interest in the education events and materials that TREAT-NMD produces. This group has overall responsibility for overseeing the quality, independence and appropriateness of all educational materials and activities created by, linked to or endorsed by TREAT-NMD.
