Bridging the Gap: A Practical Update on Alzheimer’s Disease Diagnosis and Treatment
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) disproportionately affects certain populations due to social determinants of health, yet most clinicians lack sufficient knowledge of the latest diagnostic tools and disease-modifying therapies that can help mitigate these disparities. This timely activity is designed to address these gaps with real-world, practical approaches for busy clinicians.
Join expert faculty as we explore innovations and clinical guidance that will reshape how you diagnose, manage, and communicate with patients and families affected by AD.
Jointly provided by UK HealthCare CECentral and DKBmed, LLC.
This activity is supported by an educational grant from Lilly.
Target Audience
Primary care providers, neurologists, geriatricians, nurse practitioners, and other healthcare professionals involved in dementia care.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
- Describe the variation in AD prevalence across race, gender, and other demographic factors, and explain how social determinants of health contribute to these differences.
- Identify and interpret emerging diagnostic tools (e.g., plasma biomarkers, advanced imaging) that can facilitate earlier and more accurate diagnosis of AD.
- Evaluate the clinical appropriateness of available disease-modifying treatments for AD and formulate patient-specific plans for early intervention.
- Apply best practices for communicating a diagnosis of AD to patients and caregivers, with sensitivity to cultural, emotional, and systemic barriers.
