The Certified BCAT® Cognitive Specialist program is designed for healthcare professionals with a current BCAT® license.  The 8-hour, self-paced curriculum consists of video modules taught by Dr. William Mansbach, creator of the BCAT® Approach and director of the BCAT® Research Center.

The curriculum is designed to advance each clinician’s knowledge and expertise in evidence-based cognitive assessment for those with MCI and dementia and behavior management for those with dementia. Topics of courses include the cognitive continuum, working memory, Mild Cognitive Impairment, understanding and applying the BCAT® Factor Scores, behavior management in dementia, and brain health. The primary difference between the BCAT® Master Clinician program and BCAT® Cognitive Specialist program is that the Master Clinician program focuses on assessment and treatment across the cognitive continuum and on transitions in care, while the Cognitive Specialist program focuses on assessment across the cognitive continuum and on behavior management in dementia.

The BCAT® Cognitive Specialist certification is valid for a two-year term once completed. Clinicians must have a current, active BCAT® license in order to participate in this certification program. Certification requirements include watching each video module and passing a posttest with a score of 80% or higher.
