Allyson Schrier of Thriving with Dementia talks about the background becoming a 2020 Maude’s Awards Awardee. She works at Project ECHO Dementia, a program of the Memory and Brain Wellness Center Clinic at the University of Washington. Project ECHO (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes) Dementia is a learning model in which front-line care providers from around the state of Washington meet in a web-based virtual conference room with an interdisciplinary panel of experts in memory loss and dementia. A brief 15-minute didactic is followed by an hour of case-based learning where everyone at the table is both a teacher and a learner.
