Physicians who provide primary management of Alzheimer's disease play a critical role in helping patients and their families through the course of the disease. Optimal medical management and use of community services such as those of the Alzheimer's Association can have a positive impact on the quality of life for people with Alzheimer's and their families. This section for physicians has information about Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia and diagnostic tools.

Clinical trial participation
We are at a pivotal time in the development of effective drugs that have the potential to slow or stop the progression of Alzheimer's. We urgently need more people to enroll in clinical studies. Physicians can help by making sure people with Alzheimer's or another dementia are aware of the benefits of clinical studies.
