1. Overview

The Banner Health Foundation 5th Annual Alzheimer’s Disease, Lewy Body and Related Disorders Symposium 2026 provides a comprehensive clinical update on the diagnosis, management, and emerging therapeutics for neurodegenerative diseases. The course explores advancements in biomarker utilization, monoclonal antibodies, neuropsychological evaluation, and specialized care strategies for complex dementia syndromes and movement disorders.

Course Date: 2026

2. Learning Objectives

• Evaluate the role of neuropsychological testing and biomarkers in accurately diagnosing Alzheimer’s disease and distinguishing atypical presentations.

• Analyze emerging therapeutics, including monoclonal antibodies, for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease and their practical clinical implications.

• Formulate comprehensive management plans for Lewy Body Dementia, Frontotemporal Dementia, and atypical parkinsonian syndromes like PSP and CBS.

• Implement primary prevention strategies and address unique challenges in the cognitive evaluation of multilingual and diverse patient populations.

• Assess the cognitive impact of deep brain stimulation (DBS) in Parkinson’s disease and develop intervention models to alleviate caregiver burden.

3. Target Audience

Best for neurologists, psychiatrists, and geriatricians who want updates on Alzheimer’s biomarkers, monoclonal antibodies, and related dementias.
