This free consultation group is for professionals working with older adults, specifically around issues of decision making capacity and methods of assessing capacity. It meets five times a year from 12noon to 1:30pm (Pacific time, on Zoom) on selected Tuesdays: March 17, May 19, July 21, Sept 15, and Nov 17.
In the first hour, attendees present relevant cases and questions for discussion. The remainder of the time is for professionals doing capacity assessment work, to discuss practical and business issues as well as new learning and research in related fields.
