HMB440H1 - Dementia

In patients with dementia, intellectual, social and occupational functioning deteriorate. We explore in depth the multi-disciplinary aspects of dementia (clinical, genetic, molecular, social) with a focus on the most common cause of dementia, Alzheimer’s disease. A service-learning opportunity is integrated.

Prerequisite: 4th year status; HMB300H1/302H1/310H1/312H1/320H1/322H1
