Trainings/Presentations Offered
The NYC Elder Abuse Center’s staff and partnering agencies work together to provide multidisciplinary training to professionals from across disciplines and systems on a wide range of topics related to elder abuse and aging. These presentations are lively and interactive, utilizing a variety of teaching methods – e.g., didactic presentations, discussions, case studies, DVDs – to appeal to different adult learning styles.
NYCEAC’s faculty have presented locally, nationally and internationally on the subject of elder abuse, neglect and financial exploitation to scientific, clinical, and other audiences.

Attending an EMDT Meeting
In addition to attending a training or presentation on elder abuse, it can also be beneficial to observe an EMDT meeting to see professionals from a wide range of disciplines actively coordinate responses to elder abuse. This opportunity is available to both professionals and students. To date, medical students, geriatric medicine fellows, geriatric psychiatry fellows, and public health, law and social work interns have found this exposure useful.
