Spotlight on Psychiatry
From Critique to Consensus: Quantifying and Clarifying Expert Perspectives on the Future Management of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) – Part 1: Evolving Understanding of Pathophysiology and Proposed Framework of AD
StartActivity Details
Expires: February 4, 2022
Accredited By
Target Audience
This activity is intended for neurologists, psychiatrists, and other clinicians involved in the care of patients with AD.
Learning Objectives
- Assess the fundamental principles and current status of the amyloid hypothesis—including historical obstacles associated with evaluating amyloid targeting disease modifying therapies (DMTs)—to appraise its potential utility and limitations in guiding AD diagnostic and clinical strategy.
- Identify the potential utility of a biomarker-based approach to AD management in order to understand how such strategies may be integrated into practice in the event that targeted therapies become available.
Activity Description
In November of 2020, 26 renowned AD specialists completed a questionnaire documenting their perspectives on several of the most deeply debated and evolving issues in the field. In this activity, three of these experts discuss opinions of those surveyed as well as their own on each of these highly contested topics such as the most prominent drivers of AD and the potential role of amyloid-targeting agents. Using video- and text-based elements, this intervention is designed to not only keep knowledge up to date but also prepare learners for a potential paradigm shift in the way AD is managed in the clinic. Part 1 will focus on the way our understanding of AD pathophysiology has evolved and the most widely held viewpoints among modern dementia specialists.
Statement of Educational Need
AD is a unique condition in that it is widely researched with substantial representation in the literature, and yet still so much remains unknown or without consensus. With the field at a tipping point of biomarker and therapeutic developments, this activity attempts to provide neurologists, psychiatrists and other dementia clinicians with education that is both relevant and forward thinking. Should the field continue to evolve in the projected manner, these practitioners will need to be prepared for the multitude of considerations that will become relevant to contemporary practice.
Agenda
In the first of this three-part series, Drs. Sabbagh, Smith, and Isaacson will review the traditional theories of the path to AD as well as their own personal takes on modern advancements in its understanding. They will also discuss how the historical mystery of AD has contributed to the widespread failures in pharmaceutical development and why these failures may provide more insight than may be apparent at the surface.

Agenda
In the first of this three-part series, Drs. Sabbagh, Smith, and Isaacson will review the traditional theories of the path to AD as well as their own personal takes on modern advancements in its understanding. They will also discuss how the historical mystery of AD has contributed to the widespread failures in pharmaceutical development and why these failures may provide more insight than may be apparent at the surface.

Activity Details
Expires: February 4, 2022
Accredited By
Target Audience
This activity is intended for neurologists, psychiatrists, and other clinicians involved in the care of patients with AD.
Learning Objectives
- Assess the fundamental principles and current status of the amyloid hypothesis—including historical obstacles associated with evaluating amyloid targeting disease modifying therapies (DMTs)—to appraise its potential utility and limitations in guiding AD diagnostic and clinical strategy.
- Identify the potential utility of a biomarker-based approach to AD management in order to understand how such strategies may be integrated into practice in the event that targeted therapies become available.
Activity Description
In November of 2020, 26 renowned AD specialists completed a questionnaire documenting their perspectives on several of the most deeply debated and evolving issues in the field. In this activity, three of these experts discuss opinions of those surveyed as well as their own on each of these highly contested topics such as the most prominent drivers of AD and the potential role of amyloid-targeting agents. Using video- and text-based elements, this intervention is designed to not only keep knowledge up to date but also prepare learners for a potential paradigm shift in the way AD is managed in the clinic. Part 1 will focus on the way our understanding of AD pathophysiology has evolved and the most widely held viewpoints among modern dementia specialists.
Statement of Educational Need
AD is a unique condition in that it is widely researched with substantial representation in the literature, and yet still so much remains unknown or without consensus. With the field at a tipping point of biomarker and therapeutic developments, this activity attempts to provide neurologists, psychiatrists and other dementia clinicians with education that is both relevant and forward thinking. Should the field continue to evolve in the projected manner, these practitioners will need to be prepared for the multitude of considerations that will become relevant to contemporary practice.
Agenda
In the first of this three-part series, Drs. Sabbagh, Smith, and Isaacson will review the traditional theories of the path to AD as well as their own personal takes on modern advancements in its understanding. They will also discuss how the historical mystery of AD has contributed to the widespread failures in pharmaceutical development and why these failures may provide more insight than may be apparent at the surface.

Incorporating Evidence-based Approaches in ADHD: A Wheel of Knowledge Challenge
StartActivity Details
Expires: December 30, 2021
Accredited By
This continuing medical education activity is provided by
Target Audience
The intended audience for this activity is family practice physicians, pediatricians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants and other health care professionals involved in the management of patients with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Learning Objectives
Upon successful completion of this activity, participants should be better able to:
- Assess the impact of ADHD symptoms on functional abilities and quality of life.
- Apply standardized assessment tools and diagnostic recommendations to identify patients with ADHD and monitor treatment effects.
- Incorporate clinical evidence regarding efficacy and safety to select among available therapy options for patients with ADHD.
- Develop individualized treatment plans for ADHD based on evidence-based approaches and patient characteristics.
Activity Description
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder is the most common behavioral disorder in children and affects 2.5% to 5% of adults in the United States. The prevalence of ADHD in children and adolescents continues to increase. In adults, ADHD is often a continuation of symptoms that were not diagnosed in childhood, and thus is often underrecognized and undiagnosed. Clinicians are challenged to accurately diagnose and manage ADHD based on individual patient characteristics. In this Wheel of Knowledge challenge, your intellect will be tested on the latest updates in diagnosing and treating ADHD.
