This case-based educational activity is designed to enable providers who manage patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) to more effectively diagnose mild cognitive impairment due to AD. Expert faculty will review updated criteria for screening, diagnosis, and staging; outline best practices for patient evaluation, including medical history and cognitive and diagnostic screening tools; and provide guidance on when to refer patients to specialists. Employing an interactive case-based learning platform, our faculty will assist learners with developing strategies to improve multidisciplinary and clinician/patient communication for shared decision making.
