Dementia Diagnosis & Cognitive Testing Simulation

Training Overview

Dementia Diagnosis & Cognitive Testing Simulation is a comprehensive, simulation-based educational program designed to enhance the diagnostic accuracy, clinical reasoning, and assessment skills of neurologists in the evaluation of cognitive disorders and dementia syndromes. Hosted at the ADN CoE Training, Research Center & Core Lab, this two-day program integrates structured theoretical education with hands-on cognitive assessment simulations, focusing on early diagnosis, differential evaluation, and patient-centered care.

The course covers comprehensive sessions on cognitive neuroscience, dementia subtypes, and neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease, vascular dementia, frontotemporal dementia, Lewy body dementia, and mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Emphasis is placed on clinical red flags, differential diagnosis, and evidence-based diagnostic pathways.

Through interactive simulation workshops, attendees perform step-by-step cognitive evaluations using standardized cognitive testing tools and real-life patient scenarios under the supervision of expert neurologists and international faculty. Dedicated sessions on neuropsychological testing, functional assessments, neuroimaging correlation, and biomarker interpretation ensure a complete and practical learning experience.

In addition to clinical training, the program features expert-led discussions on diagnostic challenges, communication of diagnosis, ethical considerations, and multidisciplinary dementia management. Attendees will also participate in case-based discussions addressing atypical presentations, overlapping syndromes, and longitudinal follow-up strategies.

By the end of the program, participants will have strengthened their confidence in diagnosing and managing cognitive disorders while expanding their professional network within a global neurology community.
