This symposium will address the gaps of dementia screening, communicating a dementia diagnosis, and providing resources in a diverse older adult population. Learning Objectives: (1) describe dementia screening tools that are applicable for older patients from different cultural and ethnic backgrounds; (2) demonstrate ethnic and culturally sensitive ways to discuss dementia work up and diagnosis with patients and their families; (3) identify opportunities for interprofessional teams to provide culturally sensitive support to caregivers and family members of patients with dementia; and (4) identify culturally inclusive caregiver support resources for patients and families with dementia.
