CORE--EDUCATION AND INFORMATION TRANSFER

教育和信息传输核心提供基础科学和临床培训 本报告旨在介绍阿尔茨海默病的各个方面，以及ADRC内部的信息传递，社区卫生专业人员，护理人员和受疾病影响的个人以及公众。这包括提供尖端的研究培训，专业的工作人员丰富，培养对AD的兴趣，特别是在代表性不足的群体中，并提供有关我们ADRC及其临床研究计划的信息。我们还将接触受AD影响的护理人员和个人，为他们提供信息，支持团体，获得社区资源以及参与研究的机会。 四个具体目标将实现这些目标：1）支持科学家，医生和其他专业人员的发展，以提高研究和临床技能。这将通过附属研究生课程，系列研讨会和我们的试点研究计划在基础科学水平上完成。在临床层面，它将通过我们的双周临床会议，迷你居住计划，我们的教师教授的课程/讲座，以及痴呆症和老年人奖学金来完成。2)提高社区医疗服务提供者对AD诊断、护理和研究的认识。活动包括我们的年度继续医学教育会议，迷你居住计划，以及许多研讨会和在职培训有关的研究进展，诊断和管理的AD。3）通过制定文化敏感的招聘策略和拉美裔患者护理计划，加强招聘代表性不足的群体进入AD研究和护理。一个特殊的尝试是教育 西班牙裔社区，包括医疗保健专业人员和公众， AD的诊断、护理和管理。我们还努力提高参与研究的程度。4)增加公众对AD的了解，包括为护理人员提供信息，并促进AD临床研究计划的招募。我们与阿尔茨海默氏症协会圣地亚哥分会和圣地亚哥的其他团体密切合作，赞助教育活动，如我们的年轻护理人员和患者支持团体。我们还主办了一个ADRC网站，提供有关该疾病的最新信息，制作时事通讯，并为参与者及其家人举办年度秋季开放日。

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 individuals affected by the disease, and to the general public. This includes providing cutting edge research training, professional staff enrichment, fostering interest in AD especially in under-represented groups, and providing information about our ADRC and its clinical research programs. We will also reach out to caregivers and individuals affected by AD to provide them with information, support groups, access to community resources, and opportunities to participate in research. Four specific aims will accomplish these goals: 1) Support the development of scientists, physicians, and other professional staff to improve research and clinical skills. This will be done at the basic science level through affiliated graduate programs, seminar series, and our pilot research program. At the clinical level, it will be accomplished through our biweekly clinical meetings, the mini-residency program, courses/lectures taught by our faculty, and dementia and geriatric fellowships. 2) Enhance the knowledge about AD diagnosis, care, and research in community healthcare providers. Activities include our annual CME conference, the mini-residency program, and numerous seminars and in-service training about research advances, diagnosis and management of AD.3) Enhance recruitment of under-represented groups into AD research and care through the development of culturally sensitive recruitment strategies and patient care program for Hispanics. A special attempt is made to educate the Hispanic community, including both healthcare professionals and the general public regarding diagnosis, care and the management of AD. We also strive to increase participation in research. 4) Increase public knowledge of AD, including information for caregivers, and promote recruitment into AD clinical research programs. We work closely with the San Diego Chapter of the Alzheimer's Association and other groups in San Diego to sponsor educational activities like our Young Caregiver and Patient Support groups. We also host an ADRC website with current information on the disease, produce a newsletter, and host an annual Fall Open House for participants and their families.
