ADC ECHO Series
We are accepting registrations for Fall 2024
The Alzheimer’s Association has partnered with the UCLA ADC Program, to present an Alzheimer’s and Dementia Care ECHO series. Cohorts will meet for 1-hour every two weeks, reviewing one of twelve topics each session. In addition to hearing short lectures about key dementia care topics, participating organizations will have the opportunity to present a case and receive feedback on de-identified patients who are living with dementia. This series is offered at no cost. For participation, there are up to 12 free CMEs available.
We are accepting registrations for Fall 2024, which will begin October 23. Please email Rachel Goldberger at rbgoldberger@alz.org with your interest.
The Alzheimer’s Association and UCLA ADC Program partner to create the ADC Project ECHO Series
In 2021, The Association offered a new ECHO opportunity to enhance a practice’s skills for dementia care management using case-based learning. They partnered with the UCLA Alzheimer's and Dementia Care (ADC) program on an ECHO series that adds the knowledge and skills of the highly effective UCLA ADC program. The Association hosted the series, with Dr. Leslie Evertson and Dr. David Reuben, serving as the lead faculty. In addition to hearing short lectures about key dementia care topics, organizations had the opportunity to present and receive feedback on de-identified patients who are living with dementia. During that year, The Association offered two cohorts to allow multiple sites the opportunity to participate.
Summer of 2022, UCLA participated in the Alzheimer’s Association’s Project ECHO Inland Empire telehealth series to present ADC-related topics. The target of this series was Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) and other community-based healthcare providers who serve areas where economic, geographic, or cultural barriers limit access to affordable healthcare services.
