Teaching physicians and advanced providers

Primary care physicians and advanced practice providers are at the forefront of caring for patients with dementia. We are using the academic detailing model to teach and support healthcare professionals who face the challenges of BPSD. Academic detailing engages healthcare professionals to persuade them to make changes to their clinical practice.

By partnering with healthcare professionals at Milwaukee Health Services, Inc. and Richland Medical Center and using the academic detailing model and material drawn from our Principal Investigator’s textbook, Behavioral and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia, we have put together a curriculum on how to assess and manage BPSD. Our academic detailers are Tammi Albrecht, DNP, and Art Walaszek, MD. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we offered both in-person and virtual academic detailing sessions.
