With the recent news of Bruce Willis' diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia, I talk with Dr. Halima Amjad about her own personal journey with her late father's FTD diagnosis as well as her professional role in dementia care and research.

Dr. Halima Amjad is an assistant professor of medicine at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Her career as a geriatrician and health services researcher centers around people living with dementia. She cares for patients at the Johns Hopkins Memory and Alzheimer’s Treatment Center. Her research focuses on medical care challenges in dementia, including underdiagnosis, hospitalization, and primary care support. Her advocacy work includes serving on the Board of the Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration and as chair of the Maryland Virginia I. Jones Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias council.
