The MCSA Education Committee lead by Chair Dr. Dastoor, invited the following authors Dr. Serge Gauthier (MCSA member), Dr. Pedro Rosa-Neto (Director of the Centre), Dr. Jos\u00e9 Morais and Ms. Claire Webster to explore the writing process of the report, the trials and tribulations they had to undergo to complete this massive International report on time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\n<\/p><p class=\"p1\">The authors were introduced by the members of the MCSA Education Committee, Dr. Loraine Mazzella Maiolo, Dr. Michael Wiseman, Dr. Maiya Geddes and final remarks were shared by Mrs. Jeane Day, Executive Director of Alzheimer Society of Montreal, and Mrs. Meghan Williams, Director of Support Services of Alzheimer Group (AGI). This event gave us exclusive insight on how world reports on difficult subjects are conceived and developed by experts from around the world. It gives us hope knowing that renowned experts around the world are working diligently together to find novel and refined treatments for this devasting disease for the growing aging population. Some recommendations were: an annual brain checkup for people over 50; timely clinical diagnosis; build on technology based approach; and Government must prepare for the high demand of health care services as a result of global aging.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-eff0229 elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"eff0229\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Laf80-vjYIs\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Watch the Event Here!<\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>World Alzheimer&#8217;s Day 2022 In honor of World Alzheimer\u2019s Day, and in celebration of the launch of the World Alzheimer\u2019s Report 2022, the McGill University Research Centre for Studies in Aging&#8217;s Education Committee hosted a special event &#8216;Celebrating World Alzheimer&#8217;s Day!&#8217; On September 21st, 2022, following the launch of the World Alzheimer Report 2022, The [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcsa.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3169"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcsa.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcsa.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcsa.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcsa.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3169"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/mcsa.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3169\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3740,"href":"https:\/\/mcsa.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3169\/revisions\/3740"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcsa.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3169"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
