OVERVIEW

Code ARIA: Equipping Emergency Clinicians to Identify and Manage Imaging Risks in Alzheimer’s Disease is organized by Medical Learning Institute Inc (MLI).

Release Date: Feb 27, 2026
Expiration Date: Feb 24, 2027

Course Details:
This activity is designed to narrow the practice gaps and address the educational needs of global emergency medicine clinicians, who provide care to patients with early symptomatic Alzheimer’s disease. 

In this program learners will engage with content at their own pace as presented in six-10 minute modules from global expert faculty comprised of neurologists and emergency medicine clinicians. Highlights of this program include the clinical presentation of amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA), appropriate ARIA imaging tools in the emergency department, U.S.-specific experience in the detection and management of ARIA, evaluating patient for possible risk, ARIA management and monitoring in the acute setting, and the value of interprofessional coordination.  

Learners will be provided with additional practice aids that include a pocket FAQ about ARIA for EM clinicians, visual representations of ARIA through MRI scans, as well as appropriate use recommendations related to anti-amyloid therapies, and standard reporting/protocols used in the reporting and management of ARIA.

Learning Objectives 
After completing this activity, the participant should be better able to: 

  • Recognize the clinical presentation and imaging findings associated with amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA) in patients receiving anti-amyloid therapy for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) 
  • Apply current evidence and emerging data to support risk identification, monitoring, and acute management of ARIA in the emergency setting 
  • Integrate patient-specific factors to develop acute care and referral strategies for individuals receiving amyloid-targeting therapies 
  • Implement interprofessional communication strategies to ensure timely diagnosis, management, and follow-up of patients with suspected or confirmed ARIA 

Agenda 

  • Module 1: Foundations of ARIA: Clinical Presentation in the ED Setting 
  • Module 2: Imaging Patterns of ARIA: MRI vs CT in Emergency Care 
  • Module 3: Global Lessons Learned: US Experience in ARIA Detection and Management
  • Module 4: From Risk Stratification to Acute Management: Applying Evidence at the Bedside in AD Care 
  • Module 5: Acute Management and Monitoring: From Evidence to Beside 
  • Module 6: Closing the Loop in AD Care: The Value in Interprofessional Coordination in ARIA Management and Follow-Up to Optimize Treatment Outcomes
