The Resilient Brain: Advances in Cognitive Longevity
June 12, 2026, 8:15a-4:30p ET
Online Symposium
This is a one-day, virtual symposium that examines current evidence supporting brain health, cognitive longevity, and dementia risk reduction through an integrative, interdisciplinary lens. The program highlights emerging research in brain health, preventive neurology, and psychosocial determinants of cognitive resilience and health.
Attendees will be introduced to experts from the Marcus Institute of Integrative Health’s multidisciplinary 1‑day Brain Health Assessment model and will explore how comprehensive assessment data can be synthesized to inform individualized clinical decision‑making. Through evidence‑based discussion and applied clinical perspectives, the symposium emphasizes practical strategies for supporting cognitive resilience and brain health in adult populations.
6.75 hours of CME/ ANCC/ CE credit is available for physicians, psychologists, nurses, and other healthcare professionals. See full accreditation statement below.
Topics Include:
- Precision Approach to Brain Health
- Gut-Brain Connection
- Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
- Psychosocial Factors in Cognitive Resilience
