Enhance your knowledge and clinical competence in caring for patients who have cognitive decline with free continuing medical education (CME) from the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP).
Alzheimer’s Dementia (AD) remains a challenging clinical diagnosis, particularly in the early stages of cognitive decline. With a shortage of dementia care specialists and direct care workers, family physicians play a critical role in bridging the care gap.
This enduring self-study activity is designed to enhance your knowledge and clinical competence in caring for patients with cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s disease specifically.
The approximately 4-hour CME course will address key educational gaps identified through research and the AAFP’s 2024 Voices of Alzheimer’s survey. Topics will include:
- Addressing barriers to implementing annual cognitive screening
- BBM test selection criteria and test characteristics
- Diagnosis and care pathways, including next steps following a positive cognitive impairment result
- Basic science and technology behind BBMs
You will be able to access pertinent content after the activity concludes. Continued access to the included visual aids will help you familiarize yourself with images of various conditions.
