As an academic facility, the MS Research Center provides educational and training resources for MS researchers and medical professionals. Fellowships in MS research are offered to physicians and scientists interested in entering or expanding their work in this field (the program currently has two fellows). Medical residents seeking to become involved in MS research have opportunities to receive training at the Research Center. College students can work alongside experienced researchers on summer project assignments. To date, every summer student has co-authored an abstract presented at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Neurology.

As well as academic opportunities, MSRCNY also offers continuing medical education (CME) for health care professionals. We sponsor a monthly CME program for tri-state area physicians who treat MS patients. The program is held from 6:30 PM - 9:30 PM, every third Wednesday (except August). The three-hour program earns one (1) CME credit for physicians and nurses.

To ensure that patients receive the best available care, the MS Center holds weekly grand rounds (every Wednesday at 8:00 AM) for research and clinical staff. Once monthly, an outside expert in MS treatment or research presents on a topic of emerging interest. Research staff also participate in a weekly journal club on basic science topics.

For MS health care professionals, MSRCNY sponsors a monthly spasticity management clinic, focused on diagnostic evaluation and treatment of pain and spasticity. Physicians, nurses, physical and occupational therapists, and social workers all benefit from the clinic, because each specialty needs to understand the perspective of the other medical professionals involved in spasticity management. Each clinical session earns two (2) CME credits for physicians and nurses.
