Reevaluating the Basics of Adult ADHD Care:

Applying New Findings and Responding to Patient Questions


As research evolves and conversations about ADHD continue to grow, clinicians are navigating new questions from patients every day. APSARD's new Reevaluating the Basics of Adult ADHD Care mini webinar series brings together leading experts to examine emerging evidence, address common misconceptions, and provide practical, evidence-based guidance you can apply in clinical practice. Each one-hour session combines research, real-world cases, clinical takeaways, and live Q&A to help you confidently answer the questions your patients are asking.

The mini webinar series just wrapped, but the learning doesn't have to. Stream every episode on your own time, whether you missed a session or want a second listen.
