Target Audience
This activity is designed to meet the educational needs of health care providers involved in the diagnosis and continued care of patients with Alzheimer’s disease, including primary care physicians, neurologists, geriatricians, psychiatrists, and other multidisciplinary team members.
Program Overview
This program has been developed to educate health care practitioners who care for patients with Alzheimer’s disease on the importance of early diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) due to Alzheimer’s disease, timely specialist referral, and effective treatment and monitoring of patients receiving anti-amyloid therapies. It highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary, shared decision-making approach to optimize care management. This Day in the Life docuseries provides unique insights into the patient’s journey from diagnosis to treatment and the physician’s perspective on the clinical strategies for managing disease symptoms.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to:
- Integrate evidence-based pathways for screening, diagnosing, and staging MCI and AD
- Appraise clinical practice recommendations informing use of DMTs for AD and identifying those who qualify for treatment based on available clinical data
- Assess and manage potential adverse events associated with DMTs for AD using a multidisciplinary approach
- Apply best practices for shared decision making when discussing DMT treatment for AD, including discussions of treatment benefits, risks, and what to expect with therapy
