 We hold numerous educational seminars at various Erickson Communities for care professionals—including physicians, nurses, social workers, discharge planners, and case managers—and even for their family members and neighbors. A mix of lunch time or dinner time sessions are scheduled for the convenience of attendees.
There are two types of seminars—those offering CME/CE credits for care professionals, and those that are of general interest on professional and personal topics.
Previous seminar topics have included:
- A three-night series on estate planning
- A discussion on the latest findings in dementia care
- And a social work session conducted by a nationally known geriatric case manager
Seminars are conducted by a variety of different speakers, ranging from experts connected to local universities, to researchers or specialists in various fields, to authors, elder law attorneys, and special case managers.
