You play a critical role in effectively assessing cognitive concerns, creating care plans for newly diagnosed patients and supporting families navigating Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD).
The AAFP has created a learning solution to help you confidently apply the latest research in ADRD diagnosis, treatment and management. The course includes evidence-based practice recommendations and video demonstrations of best practices for ADRD care strategies.
Upon completion of this activity, you’ll be able to:
- Identify contributing and reversible causes of cognitive impairment and know how to address them.
- Recognize the causes of dementia and determine when further evaluation is necessary.
- Advise families on advance care planning for dementia.
- List medications to treat mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia.
- Enhance your practice with the latest clinical resources and support patients in preserving brain health.
