What Others Are Saying
This symposium was like a masterclass in cognitive aging. The presentations were current, clinically relevant, and rooted in evidence. I found the overview of apraxia especially helpful, as well as the nuanced breakdown of dementia subtypes. It was refreshing to see sessions that went beyond just Alzheimer’s and addressed other conditions like Lewy Body Dementia. I also appreciated the attention to prevention — not just treatment. The sections on exercise, nutrition, and community influence offered strategies I can actually discuss with patients and caregivers. This is one of the most well-rounded courses I’ve taken on brain health in older adults. Highly recommended for anyone in geriatric medicine or neurology.
This course was a breath of fresh air. As a nurse in a memory care facility, I’m always seeking to better understand the diseases my patients live with every day. The session on Lewy Body Dementia was particularly valuable — it's a condition we see often but isn’t widely understood. The instructors did an amazing job of explaining the differences between various types of dementia and how to recognize signs early. I also loved the section on promoting cognitive health through social engagement and community design — something we can actually apply in our care center. I came away with new insights and renewed motivation to provide the best care possible.
As a psychologist working with older adults, I often collaborate with neurologists and primary care providers. This course deepened my understanding of the biological processes behind cognitive aging and dementia in a way that enhances my therapeutic approach. The discussion on cognitive reserve and how lifestyle, social interaction, and education affect brain resilience really hit home for me. I also found the session on racial disparities and social determinants to be crucial. It’s rare to find a course that integrates neuroscience, psychology, and public health so seamlessly. I now feel better equipped to contribute to multidisciplinary teams and advocate for holistic treatment plans.
This course gave me exactly what I needed — an updated, practical understanding of dementia and Alzheimer’s management. Working in geriatric care means I deal with cognitive decline on a daily basis, and this content helped me understand not only the science but also the broader picture. I now feel more confident explaining biomarker testing to families and discussing therapeutic options, both pharmacological and lifestyle-based. The sessions were well-paced, the experts engaging, and the content highly relevant. I’ve already recommended this to my colleagues. For any PA or NP in elder care, this course is worth every minute.
As a practicing neurologist for over 12 years, I’m always on the lookout for continuing education that actually adds value to my clinical work — and this course absolutely delivered. The sessions on blood-based biomarkers and cognitive reserve were groundbreaking. I appreciated how the presenters balanced cutting-edge research with clinical applicability. It wasn’t just academic jargon — they actually discussed how to interpret and implement these insights in real-world practice. I found the segment on social determinants of brain health especially eye-opening and have already started incorporating some of these considerations into my patient assessments. This course gave me new tools, a deeper understanding of cognitive aging, and a better framework for discussing treatment options with families. I highly recommend this to any neurologist who wants to stay ahead of the curve.
