CORE--TRAINING AND INFORMATION TRANSFER

我们的培训和信息传递核心的主要目标 阿尔茨海默病研究中心（ADRC）是沟通信息 关于与衰老和年龄相关疾病有关的问题， 特别是阿尔茨海默病（AD）。 我们有一个主要的承诺， 教育公众，培养有前途的年轻专业人员， 这些人有机会进行临床和基础研究， 并将基础和临床研究成果传播给非专业人士， 医学和科学界。 利用各种信息 转移车辆，我们的计划是针对三个群体： 公众，包括受影响个人的家庭成员; 少数民族;年轻专业人员（医学/研究生，临床 研究人员和基础科学家）;以及AD临床和 研究社区（临床医生、科学家和专业护理人员）。 我们的推广计划旨在与当地和区域 学术界以外的卫生专业人员协会。 我们的ADRC支持养老院的护理管理计划， 社区医院。 此外，我们的工作人员在互动方面非常活跃， 与支持团体和各级学生的教育 关于基础神经生物学、衰老和AD。 为了扩大我们的影响力 通过努力，我们正在为家庭和照顾者编写一份通讯。 此外，我们正在作出协调一致的努力，教育少数民族， 我们的区域关于AD和相关疾病，并招募非洲- 我们的研究项目。 培养年轻的临床医生， 科学家们，我们协调了一系列的讲座和研讨会， 临床和基础科学问题，临床病理学 会议和客座教授讲师。 在国家和 我们的ADRC专业临床医生和科学家 参加广泛的会议，从临床问题到 AD的细胞和分子生物学方法。 通过促进 在许多层面上交流思想和信息，这些活动 帮助减轻AD给护理人员和社会带来的负担， 加快诊断、治疗和预防的发展， 措施

The principal goal of the Training & Information Transfer Core of our Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (ADRC) is to communicate information concerning issues related to aging and age-associated disorders, particularly Alzheimer's disease (AD). We have a major commitment to educating the public, training promising young professionals, providing opportunities for these individuals to do clinical and basic research, and disseminating basic and clinical research findings to the lay, medical, and scientific community. Using a variety of information transfer vehicles, our program is directed at three groups: the lay public, including members of families of affected individuals; minorities; young professionals (medical/graduate students, clinical investigators, and basic scientists); and members of the AD clinical and research community (clinicians, scientists, and professional caregivers). Our outreach programs are designed to communicate with local and regional associations of health professionals outside of academic communities. Our ADRC supports care-giving management programs at nursing homes and community hospitals. Moreover, our staff is very active in interactions with support groups and the education of students at all levels concerning basic neurobiology, aging, and AD. To enhance our outreach efforts, we are initiating a newsletter for families and caregivers. Furthermore, we are making a concerted effort to educate minorities in our region concerning AD and related disorders and to recruit African- Americans for our research programs. To train young clinicians and scientists, we coordinate a series of lectures and seminars that deal with clinical and basic science issues, clinical-pathological conferences, and a Visiting Professor lectureship. At the national and international levels, our ADRC professional clinicians and scientists participate in a broad range of meetings ranging from clinical issues to cellular and molecular biological approaches to AD. By facilitating the flow of ideas and information at a number of levels, these activities help to relieve the burden imposed by AD on caregivers and on society and to speed the development of diagnostic, therapeutic, and preventive measures.
