2 Target Audience This program is intended for nurse practitioners/advanced practice nurses and physician assistants who diagnose, treat and manage Alzheimer s disease and related disorders in diverse populations. Statement of Need The Alzheimer s Association estimates that there are 5.4 million Americans with Alzheimer s disease affecting the lives of 14.9 million unpaid caregivers. There is a new case of Alzheimer s disease every 69 seconds, and it is currently the 6th leading cause of death. In the future, Alzheimer s disease is expected to have significant effects on the social and economic structure of our country. There is an increasing need for medical professionals as well as policymakers to address the specter of an increasing prevalence of Alzheimer s disease in an aging society. The goal of this conference is to improve the diagnostic and therapeutic capability of healthcare providers who care for persons with Alzheimer s disease and related dementias. Learning Objectives Following this conference, the participant will be able to do the following: Recognize the various causes, indications, assessments, and treatments of differential diagnosis of dementia. Develop a better understanding of functional neuroanatomy the relationship between certain behaviors, particularly dementia, and neuroanatomical structures.

Assist long-term care facilities in ensuring that psychotropic medications have a clear care plan for monitoring and dose reductions. Recognize the ways in which medications may affect cognition, assess the potential for medication side effects and plan for the evaluation and treatment of these issues. Evaluate and choose appropriate treatment options for patients with dementiaassociated psychiatric symptoms. Credit This program is not yet approved for CME credit.
