What does emerging research tell us about depression among older adults?
2014 Mental Health Symposium,
April 26, 2014, 7:00 am SLT/PDT
The Sojourner Auditorium in
Second Life®
Hillary Bogner, MD, who is both a researcher and a
practicing physician focusing on family medicine, will discuss current and
emerging research about depression among older adults. She will consider
identification, diagnosis, and management of this significant mental health
issue. Her presentation leads off the 2014 Virtual Ability Mental Health
Symposium, an event drawing researchers, practitioners, consumers, and
professionals from around the world. The Symposium is held at The Sojourner
Auditorium in Second Life®.
How might healthcare processes be redesigned to reflect the specific
principles identified in this research? How might changes in practice have
significant impact at the patient, clinician, and systemic levels? This
presentation will also explore how biopsycho-ecology can illuminate our
understanding of depression and healthcare.
Dr. Bogner currently serves as an Associate Professor of
Family Medicine and Community Health and as an Associate Professor of
Epidemiology in Biostatistics and Epidemiology at the University of
Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine. She is also a Fellow in the American
Academy of Family Physicians. Her experiences and expertise as a clinician,
researcher, and educator, as well as her success as a peer-reviewed published
researcher, offer a rich background for her presentation.
