Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a devastating yet highly prevalent condition, affecting 10% of people aged 65 years and older and increasing in prevalence as the population ages. Recent advances in disease-modifying therapies have allowed for the possibility of reductions in disease progression and improved patient outcomes. Significant advances have also been made in identifying and testing biomarkers for AD that may aid in the early diagnosis of disease, facilitate patient selection for treatment, and monitor therapeutic response. In this activity, based on a recent live event, a panel of expert faculty provide training in the appropriate integration of validated and emerging cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and plasma biomarkers into the AD diagnostic workup to identify early-stage AD in symptomatic patients. The faculty utilize a case-based approach to model the application and interpr
