What this trial studies
This study aims to create and validate an integrated curriculum focused on dementia care management using competency-based education principles. It will involve a two-year process where the first year is dedicated to developing research tools and empowering educators, while the second year will test and evaluate the effectiveness of the new curriculum compared to traditional teaching methods. The goal is to equip students with the necessary competencies to address the growing needs in dementia care. The outcomes will serve as a reference for educational institutions in developing similar competency-based programs.
