First ACCME-Accredited CME Program Delivered in VR
Advancing Early Diagnosis and Treatment of Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI)
Integrating biomarkers, imaging, diagnostics, and therapeutics through an immersive CME experience presented by the UAB Division of Continuing Medical Education and the Marnix E. Heersink Institute for Biomedical Innovation, in collaboration with EmbodyXR.
This program combines immersive VR and online CME to strengthen clinical reasoning, confidence, retention, and practice-based application in routine care.
“Healthcare is changing faster than traditional educational models can adapt.”

Why This Program Matters
Alzheimer's disease and mild cognitive impairment remain underdiagnosed and undertreated despite major advances in blood-based biomarkers, neuroimaging, disease-modifying therapeutics, earlier screening pathways, and longitudinal care models.
Evidence-Based | Immersive | Practice-Focused

The future of CME will require more immersive, measurable, and practice-based learning experiences.
ACCME and National Academy of Medicine aligned priorities
