CORE--EDUCATION

纽约大学ADCC的教育和信息传输核心提供有关AD的培训和教育，以便将通过研究获得的信息转化为改善AD患者的诊断和护理，并扩大进行AD研究的科学家数量。这一核心的目标是提高家庭成员、照顾者、医疗保健专业人员、社会服务提供者和研究科学家对AD的知识、技能和态度。ADCC的家庭顾问通过社区讲座和纽约大学医学院的研讨会向照顾者和家庭成员正式传播有关AD的信息，也通过电话和个人互动非正式地传播有关AD的信息。纽约大学ADCC的专业工作人员为养老院、日托中心、老年中心和自然退休社区(NORC)的工作人员提供资源信息和咨询。家庭顾问指导新的AD支持小组领导人和社会工作实习生。ADCC目前负责培训老年精神病学研究员诊断和治疗阿尔茨海默病。我们为ADCC患者和护理人员以及服务提供商制作了一份定期时事通讯，介绍ADCC关于AD的最新研究和最佳患者护理。与AD相关的研究方案的讲座、研讨会、教程和实际参与可供研究科学家使用。教育核心定期举办研究座谈会，以促进参与AD研究的许多学科之间的交流。我们将继续所有这些活动，并将作出特别努力，增加我们向拉美裔和其他少数族裔家庭提供社会服务和保健的人员的外联努力。我们将通过讲座和现场培训，扩大对社区和机构的社会服务和医疗保健提供者的教育，包括急性医疗保健生活设施和养老院。为了尽可能广泛地传播信息，我们将为AD照顾者和专业观众编写书面材料。

The Education and Information Transfer Core of the NYU-ADCC provides training and education about AD in order to translate information gained through research into improved diagnosis and care of AD patients and to expand the number of scientists conducting AD research. The objective of this core is to improve the knowledge skills and attitudes about AD of family members, caregivers, health care professionals, social service providers and research scientists. Family counselors at the ADCC disseminate information about AD to caregivers and family members both formally, through lectures in the community and seminars at the NYU Medical School, and informally, through telephone and personal interactions. Members of the professional staff of the NYU-ADCC lecture and provide resource information and consultation to staff members of nursing homes, day care centers, senior centers, and naturally occurring retirement communities (NORCs). Family counselors mentor new AD support group leaders and social work interns. The ADCC is currently responsible for training fellows in geriatric psychiatry in the diagnosis and treatment of AD. We produce a regular newsletter for ADCC patients and caregivers as well as service providers about the latest research on AD at the ADCC and optimal patient care. Lectures, seminars, tutorials and actual involvement in research protocols related to AD are available for research scientists. The Education Core conducts regular research colloquia to foster interchange among the many disciplines involved in AD research. We will continue all these activities and will also make a particular effort to increase our outreach efforts to providers of social services and health care to Hispanic and other minority families. We will expand our efforts in education of social service and health care providers in the community and in institutions, including acute health care settings living facilities and nursing homes through lectures and on-site training. In order to disseminate information as widely as possible, we will develop written materials for both AD caregivers and professional audiences.
