21 st century medicine focuses on the
“why” a complex disease develops. Single-agent therapeutics lack
efficacy in the management of chronic complex health issues such as cognitive
decline. This course will be structured to include 11 online webinars, followed by a live workshop.
The webinar series and workshop have been designed to attempt to make sense of the volume of information related to cognitive decline in a structured fashion. The implementation and incorporation of these clinical and investigative techniques will be covered extensively in this course.
