Dr. Susan Matulevicius has been named Assistant Dean for Faculty Wellness, a new position created to lead efforts on campus to promote physician well-being and resilience against burnout.

For the more than 5 million Americans with Alzheimer’s, as well as for caregivers, this common form of dementia is devastating – a disease with no cure and eventual loss of mental function. Today, treatments can only help lessen symptoms, said Dr. Marc Diamond, Director of the Center for Alzheimer’s and Neurodegenerative Diseases at UT Southwestern’s Peter O’Donnell Jr. Brain Institute. But despite the disease’s grim trajectory, the leader in Alzheimer’s research told those attending the Carolyn P. Horchow Women’s Health Symposium that he is optimistic.
