"We’re Walking Around Blindfolded: Dementia Diagnosis and Care"
Halima Amjad, MD, PhD, MPH, assistant professor of medicine in the Division of Geriatric Medicine and Gerontology at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, will draw from her personal experience with the diagnosis and care of young-onset dementia and share how it has informed her career and research on undiagnosed dementia and care challenges. She will also share current opportunities to improve diagnosis and care for those affected.
This year’s event is designed for Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD) researchers and professionals in dementia care, including memory care providers, neuropsychologists, nurses, and social workers, as well as community members, care partners, and trainees. It is free and open to everyone.
