It\u00a0 includes : \u00a0cognitive\u00a0 and\u00a0 emotional\u00a0 functions\u00a0 of\u00a0 the\u00a0 brain;\u00a0 behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia; the process\u00a0 for\u00a0 a\u00a0 suspicion of\u00a0 dementia; treatment, rehabilitation methods\u00a0 and\u00a0 palliative care. You have\u00a0 access\u00a0 to\u00a0 the\u00a0 tremendous\u00a0 library\u00a0 and\u00a0 to all\u00a0 journals\u00a0 related\u00a0 to\u00a0 dementia. As\u00a0 the\u00a0 physicians applying\u00a0 are\u00a0 from various countries\u00a0 and\u00a0 different\u00a0 medical working\u00a0 organizations, it\u00a0 allows\u00a0 a\u00a0 larger\u00a0 view\u00a0 on\u00a0 different care\u00a0 systems\u00a0 for\u00a0 people\u00a0 with\u00a0 dementia\u00a0 over\u00a0 Europe\u00a0 and\u00a0 farther. Strength of\u00a0 the\u00a0 course is\u00a0 the\u00a0 great flexibility in\u00a0 time to\u00a0 take\u00a0 part\u00a0 and\u00a0 the regular\u00a0 interactivity in the\u00a0 web online sessions ; limitations\u00a0 are a\u00a0 good\u00a0 fluent\u00a0 English needed , the\u00a0 necessary time-consuming amount for\u00a0 active\u00a0 participation and\u00a0 the high fees.The\u00a0 innovative\u00a0 aspect is\u00a0 that\u00a0 this\u00a0 course\u00a0 can be done from\u00a0 home\u00a0 and\u00a0 allows\u00a0 you\u00a0 whenever to\u00a0 study,\u00a0 to write, but\u00a0 some\u00a0 hours\u00a0 are\u00a0 fixed for\u00a0 online exchanges. This\u00a0 master\u2019s\u00a0 degree\u00a0 is\u00a0 run\u00a0 every\u00a0 year\u00a0 since\u00a0 more\u00a0 than\u00a0 8\u00a0 years. \u00a0The examination consists\u00a0 of\u00a0 evaluation\u00a0 during\u00a0 the\u00a0 different\u00a0 courses ( individual\u00a0 or\u00a0 group\u00a0 works assigned\u00a0 and\u00a0 noted)\u00a0 and\u00a0 all participants must\u00a0 report on\u00a0 one\u00a0 specific topic related\u00a0 to\u00a0 their\u00a0 work\u00a0 for\u00a0 people\u00a0 with\u00a0 dementia and\u00a0 this\u00a0 has\u00a0 to be\u00a0 presented orally in the\u00a0 institution. After graduation, all\u00a0 GPs receive the title : \u201cSilvia Doctor\u201d and you\u00a0 are\u00a0 encouraged to\u00a0 continue\u00a0 in\u00a0 your\u00a0 country\u00a0 to\u00a0 promote\u00a0 the best medical treatment\u00a0 and\u00a0 care\u00a0 options.The\u00a0 fruitful contact with\u00a0 colleagues from other\u00a0 countries and the\u00a0 exchange\u00a0 in\u00a0 experiences is stimulating . Myself am dealing\u00a0 now\u00a0 mainly\u00a0 with\u00a0 dementia\u00a0 and\u00a0 palliation and \u00a0we\u00a0 have established\u00a0 medico-ethical consultations for\u00a0 the\u00a0 end\u00a0 of life.Other\u00a0 countries\u00a0 have\u00a0 similar certifications\u00a0 and as\u00a0 GPs\u00a0 are visiting doctors\u00a0 in\u00a0 nursing\u00a0 homes\u00a0 for\u00a0 people with\u00a0 dementia, this\u00a0 can be an added\u00a0 value\u00a0 to\u00a0 become\u00a0 the\u00a0 medical coordinator.I\u00a0 have\u00a0 still\u00a0 now contact\u00a0 with colleagues and we\u00a0 see us\u00a0 often in international\u00a0 congresses on\u00a0 this\u00a0 important\u00a0 and\u00a0 increasing\u00a0 topic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-20745","wsa_session","type-wsa_session","status-publish","hentry","description-off"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/woncaeurope2026.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/wsa_session\/20745","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/woncaeurope2026.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/wsa_session"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/woncaeurope2026.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/wsa_session"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/woncaeurope2026.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20745"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
