Join us for a landmark CME event commemorating the birthday of Dr. Friedrich Lewy, whose discovery of Lewy bodies transformed the landscape of neurodegenerative disease research. Hosted at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota in collaboration with the Lewy Body Dementia Association and streamed globally, this hybrid symposium brings together leading international experts to explore the lesser-known history of Dr. Lewy’s career, shaped by the sociopolitical forces of his time. The program will conclude with a forward-looking panel discussion reflecting on Dr. Lewy’s enduring scientific legacy and examining innovations in LBD diagnosis, management, and future research directions.
Attendees—both in-person and virtual—gain practical insights into current best practices and emerging strategies in dementia care.
CME credits are available for all participants. This symposium is designed for neurologists, psychiatrists, geriatricians, primary care providers, nurses and other clinicians involved in dementia care.
