Reducing Diagnostic Uncertainty What the Evidence-based Researcher Can Do for Clinical Practitioners Dec 24, 2019

Show notes

Welcome to this 2019 Kessler Foundation Baird Visiting Educational Professorship Lecture podcast In 1957, William Torrey Baird, Jr., started a family tradition of giving to Kessler that has spanned across three generations. A veteran of the First World War, Mr. W. Baird, Jr., saw the power of rehabilitation after an injury and felt compelled to help. Joining Kessler’s Board of Trustees, he began a lifelong commitment of support to medical rehabilitation—a value that he passed down to his nephew, Collier W. Baird, Jr. Mr. C. Baird, Jr. furthered that commitment by establishing a trust to benefit Kessler Foundation and expand its research. The Baird lecture continues to educate the next generation of researchers on innovative medical rehabilitation research and treatment options. This years Baird lecturer is Dr. Gordon Chelune, professor Emeritus in the department of Neurology at the University of Utah School of Medicine where he podcast served as the Senior Neuropsychologist in the Center for Alzheimer’s Care, Imaging and Research. Dr. Chelune presented “Reducing diagnostic uncertainty: What researchers can do for evidence-based practitioners” on Thursday, November 21th, 2019 at the Kessler Foundation Conference Center, 120 Eagle Rock Ave, East Hanover, NJ. This podcast was edited and produced by Joan Banks-Smith, Creative Producer for Kessler Foundation.
