Registration is now open for the new self-paced Web-Based Certificate in Advanced Clinical Dementia Practice at the University of Michigan School of Social Work.
This 34 hour self-paced program prepares clinical practitioners for advanced practice with clients and families affected by dementia. Participants will gain clinical knowledge and skills in culturally-competent assessment, care planning, and state-of-the-art clinical intervention.
This program is designed for healthcare professionals who deliver or plan to deliver person- and family-centered care to people living with memory loss or dementia, including: social workers; nurses; primary care physicians; physical therapists; occupational therapists; health educators; and administrators.
“This certification program does more than just provide the learner with current information about dementia…it involves you fully in one of the most critical health and human service issues of our time… you will learn innovative, evidence-based practices that will help you develop a comprehensive approach to effective dementia care and service.”
Sharon Stolz, BSW, Pastor/Minister of Outreach
