A cognitive decline diagnosis changes your role. You’re not just a physician: you become a care coordinator, overseeing medical, mental and lifestyle changes as patients and their caregivers adjust to their new normals. And the sooner you recognize dementia and cognitive decline signs in your patients, the sooner you can provide targeted support.

This livestream CME event covers effective screening strategies, diagnostic assessments and decision-making pathways that work in the family medicine practice setting—the action steps you can take in your own exam rooms starting tomorrow.​‌‌‍‍ Dive more into dementia care in a dedicated, virtual learning environment with your peers.
