Care Philosophy
I serve currently as Cooper Neuropsychiatry Scholar and Professor of Neurology at the University of Colorado School of Medicine (UC-SOM) and as Clinical Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the University of New Mexico School of Medicine (UNM-SOM). My academic and clinical work as a subspecialist in Behavioral Neurology & Neuropsychiatry (BNNP) over the last 25 years has focused principally on multimodal assessment of cognitive and non-cognitive neuropsychiatric sequelae of neurological disorders, and particularly traumatic brain injury (TBI), and on the design, execution, and clinical translation of neurodiagnostic and therapeutic clinical trials in TBI, neurodegenerative diseases, and related neurological conditions. Concurrent to my work in these areas, I have contributed to national initiatives focused on the development and implementation of of standards for training and subspecialty certification in BNNP, the training of residents and fellows in this and related areas, and the advancement of and advocacy for care of persons with disorders at the interface of neurology and psychiatry.
