Doctors say dementia in India goes beyond Alzheimer’s to include vascular and mixed dementia.
In response to India’s growing dementia burden, Christ (Deemed to be University) has partnered with the World Headache Society (WHS) to launch a five-year academic collaboration that will introduce a structured specialization track in dementia studies within the Master’s program in Neuropsychology.
Described as a first-of-its-kind structured track in India, the initiative will be offered from the second year of the master’s program and is set to begin with the 2026-27 academic batch. The program will integrate clinical exposure, guest lectures and supervised training through the WHS Cognition and Behavior Group, while enabling collaborative research, academic supervision and international publications.
