What makes ParadigMS different?

Pr. Celia Oreja-Guevara describes ParadigMS as a group created by clinicians, for clinicians. Rather than focusing on theory alone, the aim has always been to translate everyday clinical experience into practical education that supports neurologists and residents in their daily decision-making.

In the interview, Celia highlights:

• The need for independent continuing medical education, free from commercial influence
• The value of education led by practicing clinical neurologists
• How sharing perspectives across different countries and healthcare systems strengthens learning
• The importance of open dialogue, where experts can speak freely and honestly about their experience

As president, how do you inspire collaboration among experts from such different backgrounds and regions?

Key messages from Celia Oreja-Guevara

At the heart of ParadigMS is the belief that education should reflect real-world practice. Celia explains how bringing together neurologists from across Europe and the Middle East allows ParadigMS to capture diverse viewpoints, enrich discussions, and ultimately deliver more relevant education for the wider neurology community.

Independence is another cornerstone. As Celia underlines, being independent means being able to teach openly, discuss challenges honestly, and focus on what truly matters for patient care.
