Continuing Legal Education Courses on Alzheimer’s Disease

The promotional material catches your eye: “Every 67 seconds someone in the U.S. develops Alzheimer’s Disease.  5.3 million Americans have the disease.”

I’m seeing more programming being offered to practicing lawyers on dementia-related issues generally and specifically about Alzheimer’s Disease.  An example is an upcoming program (June 2016) from the Pennsylvania Bar Institute, describing a program on Alzheimer’s Disease: “From diagnosis to legal documents, everything you need to counsel your client.”  The speakers for the day include three medical professionals, Paul J. Eslinger, PhD from Penn State Hershey Medical Center, Barry V. Rovner, M.D. from Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, and Oscar L. Lopez, M.D., from University of Pittsburgh.
