An Introduction to the MGH FTD Unit

Welcome to From Care to Cure, a podcast from the Massachusetts General Hospital Frontotemporal Disorders Unit. Our first episode features an interview with Dr. Brad Dickerson, Director of the MGH FTD Unit. Dr. Dickerson explains what drives his passion to care for and understand FTD, Alzheimer’s Disease and related conditions. Listen to learn about what inspired Dr. Dickerson to focus his neurology practice on this young-onset and atypical population as well as the origin story of the MGH FTD Unit as the multidisciplinary specialty clinical research team it has become.

The MGH FTD Unit clinical research program is committed to providing the highest quality of care while we work tirelessly for a cure for FTD, atypical and young-onset forms of Alzheimer’s Disease and related neurological disorders. You can learn more about the MGH FTD Unit at www.FTDBoston.org.
