How to Prevent Dementia: Understanding and Managing Cognitive Decline

by Richard Restak

A comprehensive guide to preventing Alzheimer&’s and other thinking disorders from bestselling author and renowned authority Dr. Richard Restak!How to Prevent Dementia begins with the principle that the more we know about dementia, the easier it is to prevent or delay it.

As can be gleaned from recent reports, researchers may be on the cusp of a meaningful treatment or cure for Alzheimer&’s. Dr. Restak also helps the reader to grasp both the positive and challenging consequences of the new medications that will soon be available. At the end of the book, the reader will understand what practical steps can be taken each day to lessen the odds of dementia and how to take advantage of new medications, while gaining a better understanding of thinking and what it is like to have it falter.

by Ashley Gerhardson Jana Baker Donald Sefcik Naunihal Zaveri

This manual provides a quick reference guide to assist educators in providing authentic feedback, how to address feedback in pre-clinical and clinical situations, and the benefits of two-way feedback in improving instruction.

Educators gain knowledge regarding how theoretical concepts become a reality leading to student success and self-directed learning. The manual guides the educator through the various modalities in which feedback is required to drive student success, such as formative practice, learning environments, small group learning, multiple-choice assessments, and clinical settings. Finally, the manual ends with two-way communication and describes the steps medical educators can take to become reflective professionals. Supported by experienced and evidence-based recommendations, medical educators, administrators, and institutions are presented with checklists, strategies, and best practices for providing authentic feedback.
