CORE--EDUCATION AND TRAINING

教育和信息传输核心提供阿尔茨海默病的基础科学和临床方面的培训，并在ADRC内向社区的卫生专业人员、照顾者和普通公众传输信息。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数量。这些科学家主要通过传统的博士后和博士后培训计划接受培训，培训直接参与研究项目。此外，该中心还提供两个正在进行的AD研究研讨会，并支持加州大学圣迭戈分校与痴呆症和老龄化研究相关的一些正在进行的研究活动：神经科学研究生课程、生物医学研究生课程、退伍军人医学中心老年精神病学部和老龄问题研究所系列讲座。这种支持包括演讲者和研讨会、信息、会议和课程的协调时间表，以及学生、博士后研究员和活跃的科学家接触或直接参与ADRC的研究活动。我们每五年资助周期培训60至70名研究人员。信息传递的总体目标是提高卫生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氏症的知识，并提供有关ADRC活动和对照顾者的支持的信息。活动包括：1.为执业卫生保健专业人员提供为期两周的小型实习计划。参与者从与ADRC教职员工和实际AD患者的一对一互动中学习。2.经认可的CME年度会议，培训专业人员和照顾者。出席人数有所增加，有300多名专业人士参加了我们最近的会议。3.通过多次讲座、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，开展ADRC工作人员的保健专业人员、护理员和公共教育(受众超过10,000人，不包括电视和广播)。4.除继续开展这些活动外，还将特别努力对西班牙裔医生和当地拉美裔社区进行有关阿尔茨海默病的教育，目的是更好地诊断和护理目前的痴呆患者，以及增加少数群体对阿尔茨海默病研究的参与。

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.
