    Dr. Anna Chodos is a Professor of Medicine in the Division of General Internal Medicine at Zuckerberg San Francisco General and the Division of Geriatrics, both within the Department of Medicine at UCSF. Her work focuses on outpatient care in geriatrics and dementia care.

    As the Executive Director of Dementia Care Aware, she leads education and practice change initiatives to support primary care in detecting dementia and caring for people living with dementia (dementiacareaware.org). She is also the Principal Investigator of Caregivers As Partners In Care Teams (CAP-CT), a program that trains health care teams on how to work with caregivers (carepartners.ucsf.edu). Additionally, Dr. Chodos serves as the Principal Investigator for a research consortium funded by the California Department of Public Health, studying the impact of early detection on disparities in dementia care among older adults from minority backgrounds.

    Clinically, Dr. Chodos works in the San Francisco Health Network and directs outpatient geriatrics, including a dementia clinic. She attended medical and public health school at Harvard Medical School and the Harvard School of Public Health. She completed an Internal Medicine Primary Care residency at UCSF-Zuckerberg San Francisco General and a Geriatrics clinical and research fellowship at UCSF. She is board-certified in Geriatrics and Internal Medicine.
