Course Description

The diagnosis and treatment of dementia is an emerging healthcare imperative with more than 5 million persons living with Alzheimer’s dementia. Specialized knowledge in diagnosis and treatment of dementing conditions is relegated to a small handful of specialty-trained behavioral neurologists and geriatric psychiatrists, supported by an equally small population of medical support staff including nurses, social workers, CNAs, and PT/OT staff. This is clearly inadequate to meet the burgeoning demand.

Educational Activities

Each online presentation will require approximately 1.5 hours to complete. This includes time for evaluation and testing. You are encouraged to watch the material and complete the test/evaluation in one sitting, however, this is not a requirement. For example, you may choose to watch the video in one sitting, then return later to complete the test/evaluation. Once the evaluation is complete, a certificate of continuing education credit based on the type of credit you requested will display. You can print it or it will be saved in your transcript for future reference.
