Penn Memory Center at University of Pennsylvania Health System, is hosting a virtual event with IMPACT’s Jason Karlawish, MD and Angela Taylor, who will discuss the shortcomings and challenges of nomenclature in Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. Karlawish and Taylor are working to find the answers to questions like:

• What’s the difference between Alzheimer’s disease and dementia?
• Should we still use the word dementia?
• Does it make sense to say that a person with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) can progress to Alzheimer’s disease?
• In the term “ADRD,” which stands for Alzheimer’s Disease and Related, does the second “D” stand for “disease,” “disorder,” or “dementia”?

The “Words Matter: Nomenclature in Dementia” event will take place January 18, 2023 at 12 pm ET.

Registration closed.
