About the course
The course is unique as it brings together several professions who work in the field of dementia. Dentists, dental hygienists, speech-language pathologists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists and audiologists all take this course together. This will give you a new multi-professional perspective on dementia, oral health and the communicative function. You will also get the opportunity to create networks with people of different professions.
The course has been developed in cooperation with Stiftelsen Silviahemmet. After the course you will receive a diploma from Karolinska Institutet and Stiftelsen Silviahemmet as well as a special pin that will be awarded to you by HM Queen Silvia at a ceremony.
