CORE--EDUCATION AND TRAINING

教育和信息传递核心提供阿尔茨海默病基础科学和临床方面的培训，以及ADRC内部的信息传递，以社区卫生专业人员，护理人员和公众。研究培训的总体目标是增加专注于阿尔茨海默病研究的科学家人数。这些科学家主要通过传统的博士前和博士后培训计划进行培训，培训直接参与研究项目。此外，该核心提供了两个正在进行的AD研究研讨会，并支持一些正在进行的研究活动，涉及痴呆症和老龄化研究在UCSD：在神经科学研究生课程，在生物医学科学研究生课程，老年精神病学单位在VA医疗中心，和研究所对衰老讲座系列。这种支持包括演讲者和研讨会，信息，协调会议和课程的时间表，以及学生，博士后研究员和活跃的科学家与ADRC的研究活动进行交互或直接参与。我们每个五年的资助周期培训60至70名研究人员。信息传递的总体目标是提高医疗保健专业人员处理阿尔茨海默病的技能。教育公众有关阿尔茨海默病，并提供有关ADRC活动和支持护理人员的信息。活动包括：1.一个为期两周的迷你居住计划，为执业医疗保健专业人员。参与者从与ADRC教师和实际AD患者的一对一互动中学习。2.经认可的年度CME会议，培训专业人员和护理人员。出席人数有所增加，在我们最近的会议上有300多名专业人士。3. ADRC工作人员通过许多讲座、会议和研讨会以及关于AD研究进展、诊断和管理的在职培训对卫生专业人员、护理人员和公众进行教育（受众超过10，000人，不包括电视和广播）。4.除了继续这些活动，一个特殊的尝试将作出教育西班牙裔医生和当地西班牙裔社区有关AD，提供更好的诊断和护理目前D受害者的目标，以及增加少数民族参与AD研究。

The Education and Information Transfer Core provides both training in basic science and clinical aspects of Alzheimer's disease, and information transfer within the ADRC, to health professional in the community, to caregivers and to the general public. The overall objective of research training is to increase the number of scientists focusing their research on Alzheimer's disease. These scientists are trained mainly through traditional pre- and post-doctoral training programs in which the training participates directly in a research project. In addition, this Core provides two on-going seminars on AD research, and support to a number of ongoing research activities involving dementia and aging research at UCSD: the Graduate Program in Neurosciences, the Graduate Program in Biomedical Sciences, the Gero-Psychiatry Unit at the VA Medical Center, and the Institute for Research on Aging lecture series. This support includes speakers and seminars, information, coordinating schedules for conferences and courses, and access for students, post-doctoral fellows, and active scientists to interface with or directly participate in the ADRC's research activities. We train between 60 and 70 researchers per five year grant cycle. The overall objectives in information transfer are to improve the skills of health care professionals in dealing with Alzheimer's disease,. to educate the general public about Alzheimer's disease, and to provide information about the ADRC activities and support to caregivers. Activities include: 1. A two-week Mini-residency program for practicing health care professionals. Participants learn from one-on-one interactions with ADRC faculty and actual AD patients. 2. An accredited annual CME conference, training both professionals and caregivers. Attendance has increased, with more than 300 professionals at our most recent conference. 3. Health professional, caregiver and public education by ADRC staff though numerous lectures, conferences and seminars and in-service training about research advances, diagnosis, and management of AD (reaching an audience of over 10,000, not including television and radio). 4. In addition to continuing these activities, a special attempt will be made to educate Hispanic physicians and the local Hispanic community about AD, with the goals of providing better diagnosis and care of current D victims, as well as increasing minority participation in AD research.
