Webinar on Mild Cognitive Impairment and the MiCOG Project - May 26, 2026 – 3.00PM CEST (75min)

Dear Colleagues,

We are delighted to invite you to the webinar Mild Cognitive Impairment: Closing the Gap Between Early Detection and Clinical Action, developed by the MiCOG Project, a hybrid education program for physicians for the diagnosis and management of Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI).
The webinar is addressed to Physicians (primary care, neurology, geriatrics, internal medicine and other disciplines involved in the care for older adults) interested in Mild Cognitive Impairment.
The objectives of the webinar are:
• to recognize the magnitude and clinical consequences of underdiagnosis and undertreatment of MCI;
• to identify key barriers to early detection and timely intervention in real-world clinical practice
• to understand the need for structured, evidence-based training to improve MCI management;
• to become familiar with an upcoming education programme titled MiCOG.
