CHDR Health Disparities Research Working Group Welcomes Dr. Fred Ketchum
April 25 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm CDT
Preparing for challenges around communication and decision-making with blood based biomarkers in primary care
CHDR’s Health Disparities Research Working Group is pleased to welcome Fred Ketchum, MD, PHD on April 25, 2024, from 2:00–3:00 p.m. CDT.
Blood biomarkers for Alzheimer’s Disease that will be available in the near future will allow more accurate, timely, and accessible diagnosis, particularly in primary care. However, these tests may also raise new challenges around communication and decision-making. This talk will briefly review this background, and describe an early-stage research project to support decision-making about blood biomarkers in primary care.
Attendees are encouraged to attend in person (HSLC 1248), but will likewise be welcome to join via Zoom (link below).
