Develop individualized, evidence-based care plans that incorporate pharmacologic management, cognitive therapy recommendations, and supportive care strategies
Oversee the prescription of medications, ordering of diagnostic tests, and interpretation of results as part of comprehensive patient care
Collaborate with behavioral health clinicians, care coordinators, and other interdisciplinary team members to optimize care continuity and quality outcomes
Participate in case conferences and team meetings to review complex cases and contribute to clinical decision-making
Stay current with emerging therapies, including anti-amyloid and disease-modifying treatments for dementia, and support patient education regarding these options
