Lindsay Clark is a clinical neuropsychologist and assistant professor in the Division of Geriatrics and Gerontology in the UW Department of Medicine and the Madison VA Geriatric Research Education and Clinical Center (GRECC). Her research program focuses on understanding psychological and behavioral outcomes of early detection of AD, and validating novel tools to increase early detection, diagnosis, and care of cognitive impairment.
She leads research projects to validate novel approaches for early detection and diagnosis of cognitive impairment, including developing and studying best practices for communication of AD biomarker results as well as investigating the feasibility, reliability, and validity of digital cognitive tools and teleneuropsychology evaluations. She collaborates on large multi-site studies, including as Clinical Core Co-Leader for the Wisconsin Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center and as site PI for a national study evaluating video-based cognitive assessment. Dr. Clark’s clinical practice focuses on diagnosis of memory disorders and teleneuropsychology, particularly with rural older Veterans and other under-served populations.
Dr. Clark has provided continuing medical education to clinicians on topics in geriatric neuropsychology, and clinical instruction to neuropsychology and psychology trainees. Dr. Clark is a member of the American Psychology Association Division 40 (Society for Clinical Neuropsychology), the International Neuropsychological Society, and the Alzheimer’s Association International Society to Advance Alzheimer’s Research & Treatment (ISTAART).
Dr. Clark’s clinical interests include geriatric medicine, cognitive disorders, Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, memory assessment, and teleneuropsychology.
