Peter V. Rabins, MD
In this classic program, Dr. Rabins implements the Mini-Mental State Examination assessing the mental status of elderly individuals, ranging from normal to severely impaired. This is a unique opportunity for students in medicine, nursing, psychology, physical therapy, occupational therapy, social work and nursing assistants to get hints on how you can both formally and informally assess the mental status of an individual. It also presents individuals with the classic symptoms associated with Alzheimer disease including: loss of short-term memory; confusion; and impaired cognitive ability.
