At CAMH, Memory Clinic patient care is integrated with research in the Geriatric Psychiatry Division that focuses on novel assessments, treatments and preventative interventions under the framework of integrated care pathways (ICP). The Memory Clinic also has a partnership with the Toronto Dementia Research Alliance (TDRA). While providing quality care to our patients, we are developing novel interventions for prevention and treatment of memory loss due to depression, Alzheimer’s and other dementias. Clients have access to the latest interventions under development through participation in different research studies.
