The multidisciplinary staff includes clinical neuropsychologists, cognitive neuroscientists, psychophysiologists, and neurologists dedicated to particular content areas. MDRC research has been extensively published in major international journals and presented at highly recognized international conferences. Each patient referred to the Center receives a comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation administered by a clinical neuropsychologist. Upon completion of the evaluation, feedback is given to the referring provider and to the patient and family along with therapeutic recommendations. Most patients continue to participate in ongoing MDRC research projects.
Confidentiality is maintained at all times and there is never a charge for the assessments.
The MDRC offers a biweekly support group for patients with memory disorders who are participating in our research. There is no charge for participation in the group. The goal of the group is to provide a mechanism for patients to discuss feelings and problems they encounter as a result of their amnesia. Individually tailored behavioral and psychopharmacological treatment are offered when appropriate. Referral Process Referrals for assessment of patients' memory functioning are accepted from neurologists, neuropsychologists, other health care professionals, and family members from anywhere in the greater New England area.
