Description of CME Course

As the population ages, dementia is emerging as a significant public health concern. Pursuit of strategies for dementia risk reduction and disease-modifying treatments (DMTs) have become key focal points of global research and public health action plans. Despite this growing focus, progress in addressing Alzheimer’s disease (AD) remains uneven, with several challenges impeding widespread, This activity will help diplomates improve strategies and skills to recognize modifiable and nonmodifiable risk factors that affect cognitive health across the lifespan, implement assessments that can be used to differentiate between mild cognitive impairment and typical aging, and how to use diagnostic evaluations to establish or rule out Alzheimer’s disease.

General Information on CME Activity

Educational Objectives

1. Integrate conversations about cognitive health and modifiable risk factors into routine care
2. Utilize cognitive assessments in standard practice to identify early cognitive changes and differentiate between mild cognitive impairment and normal aging
3. Incorporate blood-based biomarker testing into team-based workflows to enable early detection of Alzheimer’s disease pathology and triage appropriate patients for referrals to specialty care for further diagnostic testing and management
