Register to watch on demand (1 hour, 4 minutes)
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) cases are expected to rise rapidly in the coming years. By 2050, more than 13.8 million people older than 65 may be living with AD in the United States.1
No proven strategies currently exist for preventing or curing AD. However, with increased momentum in Alzheimer’s research in the last decade, it is crucial for primary care healthcare providers to stay current on the latest advancements in diagnosis, treatment, care and research.
Join Dr. Richard Isaacson of Weill Cornell Medicine/NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital as he provides an overview of AD, including pathology, risk factors, current guidelines on treatment, notable research milestones, ongoing and future research and more.
This webinar is designed for primary care practitioners and all allied health professionals.
