Alzheimer's and Dementia Care ECHO® Program:
Primary Care Practices | Begins April 16
This 12-session, biweekly series is designed to support primary care teams to receive best-practice guidance for dementia detection, diagnosis, and management. The next cohort of this series launches on April 16, 2026, meeting 12:00 PM-1:00 PM CT via Zoom. Participants will leave with evidence-based practices for diagnosis, treatment, and care management, which will help them enhance their clinical skills and leadership in dementia care. Each session includes a short, expert-led presentation, followed by interactive case discussions. Participating teams are welcome to present de-identified cases for group feedback. Up to 12 free CME credits are available to those who attend. To register, all interested care teams should contact Rachel Goldberger at rbgoldberger@alz.org. This program is best suited for clinics with recurring patients, and care teams are encouraged to attend together to maximize learning and practice-wide impact. Prescribers are asked to be added to registration and at least be a "sponsor" if they cannot participate, in case there are questions related to medications.
