Howard Fillit, MD, the founding executive director and chief scientific officer at the Alzheimer's Drug Discovery Foundation, sat down with MD Magazine to discuss the burden faced by physicians that treat patients with Alzheimer's Disease. As many patients - and their caretakers - require hours of care, education, and testing, there is a burden placed on physicians who provide those services. Fillit has been working with patients with AD for almost 40 years, and with the ADDF, he helps fund clinical trials for much-needed therapies for the debilitating condition.
