The University of Wisconsin Oshkosh Center for Career Development and Employability Training (CCDET) along with the Wisconsin Department of Health Services, Division of Long Term Care, has developed courses for a Dementia Specialist Designation for individuals who have completed one or both of the following Generalist courses: Dementia Generalist Training for Crisis Responders or Dementia Generalist Training for Healthcare Providers.
Successful participants in either of the trainings listed above are invited to select 4 of 10 one-hour Dementia Specialist short course topics. The 4 courses must be selected all at once and are available for total cost of $60 per person. Successful completion of all 4 selected courses (passing final assessment for each course) within 6 months results in the individual receiving a Dementia Specialist designation and being added to the Dementia Specialist Registry. Individuals successfully completing this training will also receive a certificate of completion and can apply for CEUs.
In addition, any individual may choose to take any number of the one-hour Dementia Specialist short course topics. Successful completion of each topic (passing a final assessment) within 6 months results in a printable certificate of completion and eligibility to apply for CEUs, but does not earn the Dementia-Capable Wisconsin Dementia Specialist designation.
Registration and a listing of the 10 one-hour courses are now available at http://www.uwosh.edu/dementia.
