CORE--EDUCATION

NYU-ADCC的教育和信息传递核心提供有关阿尔茨海默病的培训和教育，以便将通过研究获得的信息转化为改进阿尔茨海默病患者的诊断和护理，并扩大从事阿尔茨海默病研究的科学家人数。该核心的目标是提高家庭成员、护理人员、卫生保健专业人员、社会服务提供者和研究科学家对阿尔茨海默病的知识、技能和态度。ADCC的家庭顾问通过正式的社区讲座和纽约大学医学院的研讨会，以及非正式的电话和个人互动，向护理人员和家庭成员传播有关AD的信息。纽约大学adcc的专业人员为养老院、日托中心、老年中心和自然退休社区的工作人员提供讲座和资源信息和咨询。家庭顾问指导新的AD支持小组组长和社会工作实习生。ADCC目前负责在老年精神病学方面对老年痴呆症的诊断和治疗进行培训。我们定期为ADCC患者和护理人员以及服务提供商制作关于ADCC AD最新研究和最佳患者护理的通讯。研究科学家可以参加与AD相关的讲座、研讨会、教程和实际参与研究方案。教育中心定期举办研究座谈会，以促进与AD研究有关的众多学科之间的交流。我们将继续开展所有这些活动，并将特别努力加强向西班牙裔和其他少数民族家庭提供社会服务和保健服务的工作。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保健提供者的教育，包括在急症医疗机构、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护理人员和专业受众编写书面材料。

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.
