Department of Psychiatry
Geriatric
The Division of Aging and Geriatrics provides outpatient clinical care for elders with dementia, depression, and other mental disorders.
These teaching clinics are staffed by Jason Schillerstrom, MD,
Ricardo Salazar, MD, and
Donald Royall, MD. Each elder referral receives brief
neuropsychological testing which screens for memory, problem solving, and mood impairments. Medication management and
psychotherapy targeting the maintenance of self care activities and caregiver stress are offered. The division also provides
consultation services for local nursing homes and for Adult Protective Services.
