THIS IS A SPECIAL EVENT - NOTE THE DATE & START TIME

Please join us for a special guest speaker, Aaron Daley, of the UCSF Weill Institute for Neurosciences Movement Disorders and Neuromodulation Center.

Aaron Daley, MA, is the clinic and research coordinator for the University of California, San Francisco (SF) Parkinson's Disease (PD) center. He runs the day-to-day operations of the center, including clinical research trials, PD outreach and education in the Bay Area, and follow-up clinical care in the UCSF Movement Disorder department. Given his location in the SF Bay Area—one of most diverse populations in the world — he strives to collect, create, and transmit culturally appropriate information on PD. In the last 10 years, he has worked on a variety of National Institutes of Health- and Department of Defense-funded research projects: investigating issues related to mental health screening of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans, blood ratios in massively transfused trauma patients, and the effects of cognitive behavioral interventions with sleep disorders and depression. He is interested in the ways that medicine and mental health intersect, as well as investigating ways that our society can improve the services and quality of life of the mentally ill. He graduated with a degree in psychology from the University of San Francisco in 1999, and a Master’s degree in Psychology, with an emphasis in research, from San Francisco State University in 2008.
