Harvard Brain Medicine: Integrating the Clinical Neurosciences 2025
A focused brain medicine course designed to integrate clinical and neuroscientific perspectives across neurology, psychiatry, neurorehabilitation, brain health, behavioral neurology, neuropsychiatry, geriatric neurology, and geriatric psychiatry for patients with complex brain disorders.
Harvard Brain Medicine: Integrating the Clinical Neurosciences 2025 is a recorded medical course focused on the integration of clinical neuroscience specialties involved in the care of individuals with complex brain disorders.
Focus: Brain medicine, brain health, biopsychosocial formulation, integrated neuroscience care, Alzheimer’s disease, gut-brain interactions, psychiatric care within neurology, chronic pain, functional restoration, frontotemporal dementia, cerebellar cognitive-affective syndrome, and collaborative care models.
About This Course
Brain medicine brings together the clinical and neuroscientific perspectives of neurology, psychiatry, neurorehabilitation, psychology, behavioral neurology, neuropsychiatry, geriatric neurology, and geriatric psychiatry. This integrated approach is especially important for patients whose symptoms affect cognition, behavior, emotion, perception, social cognition, pain, function, and sensorimotor ability.
This course provides a structured update on how clinicians can apply biopsychosocial formulation, precision medicine principles, and collaborative care models to complex brain disorders that do not fit neatly into one specialty.
