Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common, genetic, neurologic disorder. While originally thought of as a childhood condition affecting hyperactive boys, nearly two-thirds of children with ADHD have symptoms that persist into adulthood. As with childhood ADHD, the diagnosis of adult ADHD is a clinical assessment based on the patient's medical history, family history, presenting symptoms, and past symptoms.(1) By adulthood, the primary problems generally concern memory and attention. In adults, inattention may present with impaired executive function such as organizational difficulty, poor time-management, difficulty completing tasks, distractibility, and/or forgetfulness at work and at home.(2)
This neuroscienceCME Medical Simulation on adult ADHD takes you inside the office of a primary care practitioner and demonstrates the management of adult ADHD over time.

The goal of this activity is to demonstrate the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of adult ADHD in the primary care office setting.
At the end of this CE activity, participants should be able to:
- Employ the current diagnostic criteria of adult attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in practice and define the typical clinical presentation for adults with ADHD.
- Implement standardized screening tools for adult ADHD into routine clinical practice.
- Incorporate the current evidence-based treatments for adult ADHD into a treatment plan for adults with ADHD.
This educational activity is supported by an independent medical education grant from Shire.
Physicians, physician assistants, nurses, nurse practitioners, pharmacists, social workers, certified case managers, and other health care professionals who manage adult patients with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
