Assistant Professor of Psychiatry
University of Rochester Medical Center
Mark Oldham, MD, is an Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC), Deputy Editor of the Journal of the Academy of Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry, President-Elect of the American Delirium Society, and co-creator of a comprehensive set of free catatonia assessment resources using the Bush-Francis Catatonia Rating Scale [https://bfcrs.urmc.edu]. He completed fellowship training in C-L psychiatry at Yale. Whereas Dr. Oldham's scholarly focus is delirium, his clinical work has centered on team-based models of proactive C-L psychiatry. He served as an attending and medical director of Yale's Behavioral Intervention Team and currently directs a similar proactive C-L service at Strong Memorial Hospital called PRIME Medicine [Proactive Integration of Mental Health Care in Medicine]. He is currently supported by a K23 career development award from the National Institute on Aging to develop expertise on the relationship between sleep-wake disturbance and postoperative cognition—both delirium and Alzheimer disease and related dementias.
