Over the weekend, HABIT Directors (left to right in photo) from Mayo Clinic Health System La Crosse (Dr. Anni Shandera), the University of Florida (Dr. Glenn Smith), and Mayo Clinic Florida (Dr. Melanie Chandler) attended the 18th Annual MCI Symposium in Miami. This conference is put on each year to share the latest research and innovations in Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). Saturday and Sunday morning were spent in a traditional research conference for other clinicians and researchers. Sunday afternoon was a "Public Forum" for members of the community to come and hear about the latest MCI information and engage in dialogue with the clinicians and researchers working to better understand and treat the condition.
Dr. Smith presented in the Public Forum on "Memory Compensation Training and Computerized Cognitive Training in Older Adults" in which he spoke of our research from HABIT on the calendar and computer training we do. He also spoke more broadly about what we do in HABIT. His talk was well attended, and well received. We always get so many great comments and questions! Thanks Dr. Smith for helping get the word out to more people about HABIT (click here to learn more about what HABIT is)!
I'll follow up next week with some of the key highlights from the meeting!

As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, I don't have specific information on events or activities that occurred after that date, including details about the "MCI Symposium in Miami" or any participation by HABIT Directors.
If this is a recent event or a development that happened after my last update, I recommend checking the official website of the MCI Symposium or any related announcements from HABIT Directors for the most accurate and up-to-date information. Additionally, social media accounts or press releases from the organizers or participants may provide insights into their involvement in the symposium.
If you have access to the internet, you can search for recent news articles, press releases, or updates related to the MCI Symposium in Miami and HABIT Directors to get the latest information.
