This activity is intended for neurologists and other healthcare professionals who manage patients with Alzheimer's disease.
The majority of those with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) experience significant delays in diagnoses; it can be years before patients are referred to neurologists for a proper diagnosis. Further complicating matters after diagnosis, the care of AD patients is often fragmented, uncoordinated, and unresponsive to patients’ needs and those of their caregivers and families.
Significant time and skill are required to accurately diagnose neurologic conditions, communicate a life-shattering diagnosis to patients, and discuss and manage treatment options. Neurologists play a definitive role in the management of AD patients, and this CME-certified activity is designed to help these clinicians stay up to date with cutting-edge science on the early recognition of cognitive impairment, explore new tools and techniques to confirm diagnoses, and recognize where traditional and emerging therapies belong in the treatment armamentarium.
“A.C.T. N.O.W. - A Challenge To Neurologists to Open the Window-of-Opportunity for Patients with Early Alzheimer’s Disease” will also address the following National Alzheimer’s Project Act priorities: 1) accelerate the development of treatments that would prevent, halt, or reverse the course of AD; and 2) improve early diagnosis and coordination of care and treatment of AD.
Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:
