As a young person escaping a war-torn nation, Ziad Nasreddine came to North America.  About a decade later, he completed medical school at the University of Sherbrooke in Quebec, Canada. Dr. Nasreddine later completed a fellowship in Cognitive Neurology/Neurobehavior at UCLA and became a board-certified Neurologist.  In 1992, during his residency, Dr. Nasreddine recognized the need for a more comprehensive cognitive screening tool that could better serve clinical settings.  He began the journey of creating his own, more efficient, and complete test.  In 2005, Dr. Nasreddine finished validation of the first version of a more specialized assessment that could directly support hospitals and specialty clinics with high volume of patients: the Montreal Cognitive Assessment—or MoCA.Along with his continued dedication to patients at his memory clinic, Dr. Nasreddine leads MoCA Cognition, a research and innovation-focused company driven to deliver the next generation of cognitive screening solutions.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
