It is estimated that 2/3 of persons in the community with dementia are undiagnosed and untreated, with significant implications for future health resource utilization in view of our aging population. Better identification and management at a primary care level is essential. Based on the successful accredited Memory Clinic Training Program developed by The Centre for Family Medicine and the Ontario College of Family Physicians, this case-based interactive session provides the busy family physician with pearls on the diagnosis and management of patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment and Dementia in ambulatory care.
Learning Objectives:
- List features that allow the clinical differentiation between normal aging, MCI, and the various types of dementia, and explain common office-based cognitive tests and investigations that can assist in the diagnosis
- Review basic initiation and monitoring of medications used in the management of patients with dementia
- Differentiate patients that can safely be diagnosed and managed by the family physician from those requiring a referral to a specialist
