Topic
The PREPARE Summit program is an interactive, case-based educational series designed to help clinicians identify, evaluate, and manage early cognitive decline in primary care settings. Led by experts in neurology, geriatrics, and primary care, this program emphasizes the use of validated screening tools, clinical signs and symptoms, and emerging biomarkers to differentiate normal aging from early cognitive impairment. It aims to empower primary care providers with the knowledge and tools to adopt updated guidelines, initiate meaningful discussions with patients and caregivers, and coordinate multidisciplinary care to promote early detection and cognitive preservation, optimize brain health, and manage cognitive decline effectively.

TARGET AUDIENCE
This activity is tailored to meet the educational needs of healthcare practitioners involved in managing patients with cognitive health concerns. The primary audience included primary care clinicians and general practitioners (MDs/DOs/NPs/PAs), general neurologists, and geriatricians, with a secondary audience of psychiatrists and OB-GYNs.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Upon the completion of this program, attendees should be able to:
- Appraise cognitive health screening best practices to differentiate normal aging from early cognitive decline using validated tests, while offering appropriate management strategies and specialist referral
- Justify the use of clinical signs and symptoms, as well as biomarkers, to detect neuropathological changes in cognitive health conditions
- Model the integration of new data and guideline recommendations for cognitive health assessments into clinical practice
- Initiate conversations about cognitive health and cognitive preservation through patient and caregiver discussions and interdisciplinary communication across the cognitive health team
