Description: It is well recognized that early diagnosis and ongoing management of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) requires a patient-centric, highly coordinated effort among a large multidisciplinary team of clinicians. As such, this proposed initiative establishes meaningful, small group interactions among key stakeholders (neurologists, dementia specialists, geriatricians, geriatric psychologists, radiologists, and primary care clinicians) that will, through a variety of collaborative educational experiences, help all members of the care team consider approaches to reducing barriers to effective coordinated care and encourages each participant to create an action plan to improve the quality of AD care delivered within their organization. Considering the complexity of this challenge, lack of expertise, and the breadth of communication and cooperation required, participants would highly benefit from an educational intervention that includes discussions with knowledgeable experts and peers from within and outside of their own communities who can share experiences, strategies, challenges, and success stories.

Behavioral Neurology fellow

Thank you for your interest in this course! You're in for a fun time and an engaging discussion. The time commitment is extremely modest and flexible. The course consists of 3 modules (Early Alzheimer’s Disease Diagnosis, Disease-Modifying Therapies in MCI and Early AD, ARIAs and Advanced Considerations for Patient Selection, Multidisciplinary Care in Early Alzheimer’s Disease and MCI), and one group discussion (~45min-1hr). Each module may take about 20-30 minutes (or less!) but feel free to go at your own pace! You do not need to have everything completed before our discussion. I am confident that your experience in the group will be productive, enjoyable, and further your understanding of AD diagnosis and management in this rapidly growing field.

Here's a little bit about me: I am currently a fellow in Behavioral Neurology & Neuropsychiatry at Johns Hopkins. I am passionate about caring for patients with dementia, MCI, and other neurodegenerative condition. I completed my undergraduate education at Cornell University, medical school at the Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine in 2020, and Neurology residency training at Duke University Medical Center in 2024. I am also passionate about service in disadvantaged communities, health equity, and addressing the social and structural drivers of health in medical care. My research and clinical interests are focused on racial disparities in dementia, and examining how childhood trauma may increase risk for cognitive disorders in racially and ethnically diverse communities.
