Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, learners will be able to:

Evaluate recently approved amyloid-targeting therapies for early Alzheimer’s Disease

Assess advances in blood-based biomarkers to diagnose Lewy Body Dementia

Determine when to prescribe the new anti-seizure medications (ASMs) in clinical practice

Anticipate the potential adverse events resulting from their pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic interaction with other ASMs
