Changes to the DSM-5 have modified the language used in evidence-based diagnostic criteria for dementia(1) and education for clinicians can accelerate both the adoption of this new language and how to apply these revisions to clinical practice.(1) The National Institutes of Health’s (NIH) National Institute on Aging Alzheimer’s Disease (NIAAD) Research Summit 2013 reported that the management of Alzheimer's disease needs to be viewed as a continuum that begins up to one decade before the symptoms form an obvious, clinical entity. The Summit further reported that Alzheimer's disease is a multifaceted disease, and there is much more that clinicians can do much more than they currently over the course of the disease to work to change its course.(2)
This enduring replay of the symposium presented at the AAGP Annual Meeting in Orlando, Florida will update clinicians on the new diagnostic language for neurocognitive disorders in DSM-5 for neurocognitive disorders and through the use of an interactive case challenge, demonstrate the implications of these changes for optimizing and informing clinical practice.

Clinicians who participate in this activity will individualize a treatment plan that optimizes pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches to suit each patient’s clinical assessments, a specific neurocognitive disorder diagnosis using the revised DSM-5 diagnostic language, and input from the patient and caregivers.
At the end of this CE activity, participants should be able to:
- Review and apply changes in the DSM-5 as related to a diagnosis of neurocognitive disorders during annual assessments.
- Implement the latest available treatment approaches as part of an individualized treatment plan aligned to the particular stage of Alzheimer’s disease including pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic approaches.
