CORE--EDUCATION AND INFORMATION TRANSFER CORE

哥伦比亚大学教育和信息核心中心的目标是为医生提供培训，促进招募和留住研究参与者，并制定推广ADRC活动的外联计划。为了实现这一目标，我们将继续设计和实施研讨会、演讲、出版物和继续医学教育课程，让临床医生熟悉痴呆症诊断、治疗和管理方面的护理标准和研究趋势。我们将继续对我们的项目进行严格的评估，以确保它们符合教育目标和目标。在接下来的5年里，教育核心将为培训中的医生制定一个全面的教育计划。我们已经为第一年神经学住院医生试行了这项计划，该计划将扩展为一个小型奖学金，包括住院医生和其他医学学科的研究员。临床核心计划将招收的新队列需要创建一个教育计划，旨在克服少数族裔招募进入临床研究和尸检计划的障碍。这一新的社区居住参与者从曼哈顿北部的伊莎贝拉老年中心接受家庭护理，主要是西班牙裔或非裔美国人。将创建文化敏感信息、演示文稿和材料，以解决参与临床试验和获得尸检许可的态度和障碍。评估这些方案有效性的方法将在哥伦比亚大学课程评估和教师支持中心的协助下制定。教育核心将继续我们的服务活动，向照顾者和公众提供关于疾病治疗和研究机会的教育。另一个专门服务的目标是通过设计针对少数群体的教育方案，促进招募加入遗传学倡议。

The objectives of the Columbia University Education and Information Core are to provide training to physicians, facilitate recruitment and retention of research participants, and develop outreach programs to promote ADRC activities. To accomplish this, we will continue designing and implementing seminars, presentations, publications, and CME courses to familiarize clinicians with standard of care and research trends in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of dementia. We will continue the rigorous evaluation of our programs to ensure that they meet the educational objectives and goals. Over the next 5 years, the Education Core will develop a comprehensive education program for physicians-in-training. We have already piloted this program for first-year neurology residents and the program will be expanded into a mini-fellowship to include residents and fellows from other disciplines of medicine. The new cohort to be enrolled by the Clinical Core requires creating an educational program designed to overcome barriers to minority recruitment into clinical research and autopsy programs. This new cohort of community dwelling participants, receiving home care from the Isabella Geriatric Center in Northern Manhattan, are predominantly Hispanic or African American. Culturally sensitive information, presentations and materials will be created to address the attitudes and obstacles to participating in clinical trials and obtaining permission for autopsy. Methods of evaluating the effectiveness of these programs will be developed with the assistance of the Center for Curriculum Evaluation and Faculty Support at Columbia University. The Education Core will continue our service specific activities of providing education to caregivers and the lay public about disease treatment and research opportunities. Another service specific aim is to facilitate recruitment into the genetics initiative by designing educational programs targeted to minorities.
