Would you like to leave more about Palliative Care and how:
1. Palliative care is an approach to care that focuses on improving quality of life for people with serious illnesses, including neurological disease.
2. Patients with neurologic disease have high palliative care needs, many of which can and should be addressed through primary palliative care delivered by their neurologist.
If so, then please join us as we host Dr. Jennifer Corcoran, who will highlight recent and future work to advance palliative care as a standard of care for patients with Parkinson's disease and their care partners.
Dr. Jennifer Corcoran is an Instructor of Neurology and an NINDS T32-supported fellow in movement disorders, neuropalliative care, and experimental therapeutics at the University of Rochester. She earned her medical degree at the University of Rochester, where she was inducted into the Alpha Omega Alpha and Gold Humanism Honors Societies, and remained at University of Rochester for neurology residency. During her clinical training, she became interested in palliative care as an effective approach to address unmet needs for neurology patients and their families. She then pursued clinical and research training in the fields of movement disorders and neuropalliative care. Her research interests include prognosis and anticipatory guidance in Parkinson's disease and other progressive neurologic diseases, and patient-centered decision-making in deep brain stimulation surgery for Parkinson's disease.
