Dr. Sheldon Jordan of TheraMind Gives Grand Rounds Presentation at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (PRWEB) October 02, 2018 -- Dr. Sheldon Jordan, the Medical Director of the TheraMind Center of Santa Monica and a national thought leader in neuroimaging recently discussed fMRI and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation with doctors, nurses, and members of the medical community at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital as part of the hospital's monthly Psychiatric Grand Rounds. Dr. Jordan, MD, FAAN, is widely recognized as a leader in brain imaging using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) targeting techniques to treat Major Depressive Disorder and other neurological and psychological disorders.
Dr. Jordan presented to a group of doctors, nurses, and community members at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital at the Grand Rounds hosted by the Department of Psychiatry and Addiction Medicine at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital. These presentations are meant to introduce clinicians to recent advances that enhance treatment and provide a forum for discussion of topics that strengthen the relationship of psychiatry and addiction medicine to the broader Santa Barbara community.
A group of about 50 people gathered in Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital’s Burtness Auditorium to learn about TMS and how it can be used to treat depression, anxiety, and other mood disorders. TMS therapy, an FDA-cleared, non-invasive treatment, employs MRI-strength magnetic impulses targeted to specific regions of the brain involved in the regulation of mood.
Dr. Jordan has been in private practice in West Hollywood and Santa Monica since 1981, with an emphasis on interventional pain management, neuroimaging, clinical neurophysiology, and sports neurology. He currently oversees the administration of TMS therapy for patients at the TheraMind Center of Santa Monica.
