This program explores adult attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in academic and healthcare workplace settings. Participants will examine the prevalence of adult ADHD among U.S. workers, college students, and healthcare clinicians, as well as its potential financial impact on healthcare facilities. The course addresses common misconceptions, clarifies the distinction between ADD and ADHD, and highlights key signs and symptoms of adult ADHD. Through experiential simulation exercises, learners will gain insight into the challenges individuals with ADHD may encounter and identify practical strategies that learners, instructors, and preceptors can use to support success in educational and clinical environments.
