This interactive activity will review the clinical course of Alzheimer's disease (AD) focused on the screening and assessment of AD as well as applying patient-centric communication practices in the primary care setting. This education will also focus on increasing clinician and patient awareness about AD, best screening practices, and using sensitive and specific diagnostic tests in primary care can help decrease time to diagnosis and improve patient outcomes.
