2.  If you are a professional and would like to receive accredited contact hours (7.8 contact hours from the Minnesota Board of Nursing), please go to http://register.cce.umn.edu/Course.pl?sect_key=184856.  Due to the costs of organizing this conference, we are now charging $50 for 7.8 contact hours.  Please visit the CEU registration web site to both register for the conference and purchase contact hours.

As Dr. Gaugler's research program continues to grow, he would like to ask you to take a few minutes and consider being a part of the University of Minnesota Caregiver Registry.  Becoming part of the registry does not enroll you in any study, but it provides Dr. Gaugler with permission to contact you in the future about any upcoming opportunities to participate in his research as well other basic information.  Filling out the University of Minnesota Caregiver Registry form should not take more than 5 minutes:

a.  If you are a family member or friend who knows someone with memory loss or is helping them, please fill out the University of Minnesota Caregiver Registry-Family form here:  https://umsurvey.umn.edu/index.php?sid=97146&lang=um.

b.  If you are a professional who cares for persons with memory loss or their families, please fill out the University of Minnesota Caregiver Registry-Professional form here:  https://umsurvey.umn.edu/index.php?sid=36229&lang=um.

More conference details will continue to be provided in the upcoming weeks, but please make sure to check the conference portal.
