Program Overview
This continuing medical education program will highlight recent advances in the treatment and management of patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD), including data presented at the International Congress of Parkinson’s Disease and Movement Disorders (MDS) 2019 in Nice, France. The three expert faculty will review the pathophysiology of Parkinson’s disease, as well as best practices for early detection and diagnosis of PD in practice. The faculty will analyze current trial data for both pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic therapies in PD and debate the clinical relevance in an interactive panel format. Strategies for improving patient outcomes and quality of life will be reviewed, considering the optimal role of caregivers in improving adherence to therapy. Upon completion of this programs, learners will be increasingly confident in their ability to treat and manage their patients with Parkinson’s disease.
