• Examine the benefits and limitations of newer diagnostic tests and pharmaceutical options for Alzheimer’s disease.
• List ways to manage common issues that arise as dementia progresses, including treating behavioral disturbances with non-pharmacological approaches and exploring what matters most to patients and families when having advance care planning discussions.
