Today’s Course to Explore Brain Health Across the Lifespan

Join five expert speakers from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. today in room 601 for “The New Era of Brain Health Across the Lifespan: How Science and Public Policy Can Improve Neurologic Outcomes for All.”

This riveting course, directed by AAN Brain Health Committee member Joel Salinas, MD, MBA, MSc, FAAN, will lead attendees through the past and present of brain health. Topics will include talks on brain health in every stage of a person’s lifespan—the early years, middle age, and late life—and how science can influence policy through AAN member advocacy.

Participants should become familiar with emerging evidence-based practice for timely and appropriate intervention to reduce risks and enhance protective factors for brain health conditions; learn how to consider development and implementation of interventions and systems-based practice to improve quality of life for those affected by brain health conditions appropriate to each life epoch; and understand ways to collaborate across disciplines, organizations, and initiatives to advance brain health.
