The program also facilitates connections with community resources and support services, empowering providers with comprehensive knowledge and tools to better serve patients living with dementia and their caregivers. Additionally, participants will earn up to 12 Continuing Medical Education (CME) credits, providing an excellent opportunity for professional development while addressing critical healthcare needs. The first class begins September 5th.
