Nice powerpoint but overly text driven. Will depend heavily on the charimsa of the speaker. Does not really provide anything unique in the way of teaching about dementia but does cover the basics.

Discusses definition and major subtypes of dementia. The notes offer further resources and some bibiography. Discussion of pharmacological agents is not detailed; more of an overview of potential options.
