Dr. Darina Petrovsky, assistant professor of nursing science and core faculty member at IFH’s Center for Healthy Aging, has been selected to take part in the 2023-24 Class of the Dementia Palliative Care Clinical Trials Program.

The Dementia Palliative Care Clinical Trials Training Program, hosted by The Center for Aging and Serious Illness (CASI) at Massachusetts General Hospital, directly addresses national priorities for dementia research and is grounded on the NIH Stage Model with a strong focus on research rigor, mechanisms, implementation, and scalability. The program provides a foundation in practical aspects involving the design and conduct of randomized clinical trials in dementia palliative care.

“I am looking to receive specialized training in dementia palliative care clinical trials and connect with others who are doing research in this field,” says Dr. Petrovsky.
