Vision
To reduce the scale and impact of dementia, Arnoldo believes we need to develop successful intervention programs and economically feasible strategies to effectively modify dementia risk factors that can work in developed and developing countries.
Strategy
Arnoldo is working to establish the first memory clinic in his region to successfully promote dementia awareness, early diagnosis, and treatment, as well as clinical research in collaboration with colleagues from Mexico and other countries.
Impact
As an Atlantic Fellow, Arnoldo enhanced his clinical skills in cognitive and behavioral neurology, allowing me to provide better medical attention to my community.
Motivation
Mexico's west coast lacks a referral center to properly evaluate and provide comprehensive care to people living with dementia. Arnolodo's goal is to help start a memory clinic within a university-affiliated hospital to provide care for this vulnerable population.
Education & Experience
Luis Arnoldo Muñoz Nevárez did his residency in Internal Medicine at the Guadalajara Civil Hospital—one of the largest referral medical centers on Mexico’s west coast—where he served as chief resident for one year. Afterward, he completed his residency in Geriatric Medicine at the National Institute of Medical Science and Nutrition in Mexico City, considered to be one of the top research and healthcare centers in Mexico.
