OVERVIEW
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in Adults: Making the Diagnosis and Optimizing Treatment Part 1 - Making the Diagnosis is organized by National Association for Continuing Education (NACE) and will be held during Aug 01, 2016 - Jul 31, 2018.
The target audience for this medical event is Primary Care Providers. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 1 AMA PRA Category I Credits.
Conference Description:
In this first of a two-part series on Diagnosing and Optimizing Treatment for ADHD, primary care clinicians will learn the appropriate prompts for ADHD screening, how to make a complete ADHD diagnosis, and how to schedule and monitor the prescription of medications for ADHD symptom relief. Presented by a family physician who diagnoses and treats ADHD full-time, learners will walk away with a confidence in handling ADHD as we currently do anxiety, depression, and associated medications.
Conference Objectives are:
• Use the 6-question ASRS screener for your office patients, and know what next steps to take when someone screens positive for ADHD.
• Use the ADHD 18 symptom checklist and other prescribed methods for making a complete and thorough diagnosis of ADHD.
• Identify comorbid conditions patients might have that can trigger a screen for underlying ADHD.
• Prescribe medications for an ADHD trial treatment with confidence, and how to titrate those medications up to effective dosing.
• Set up an effective patient visit schedule to diagnose, treat, and monitor ADHD in patients.
Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
