Dr. Strickland is a board-certified clinical neuropsychologist with
considerable experience in the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of
concussion and related disorders.
He is an Associate Clinical Professor of Neurology, David Geffen School
of Medicine at UCLA. He earned M.S. and Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology
(Behavioral Medicine) at the University of Georgia. He completed a
postdoctoral fellowship and research practicum in psychopharmacology at
Harbor-UCLA Medical Center; and a postdoctoral fellowship in clinical
neuropsychology at the Semel Neuropsychiatric Institute, David Geffen
School of Medicine at UCLA.
He is a fellow of the National Academy of Neuropsychology, the American
Psychological Association Division 50 (Addictions), and the American
College of Professional Neuropsychology.
Dr. Strickland is a Diplomate of the American Board of Professional
Neuropsychology.He directs the Concussion Management Demonstration
Program for the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF). Dr.
Strickland’s research seeks to better characterize traumatic
brain injury, dementia, and related neurobehavioral disorders across
the life span.
Dr. Strickland utilizes multi-project investigations that employ brain
imaging, neuropsychological, and other neurobehavioral assessments to
pursue two overarching research themes:
- the understanding of potential differential expression of
neurobehavioral disorders among underserved populations across the life
span
- the identification of effective assessment and diagnosis,
and potentially promising treatment interventions to be explored in
future clinical service and research.
An underlying focus of his work is the development of a research
program consisting of experienced and committed professionals
conducting innovative clinical neuroscience investigations that attract
scientists from regional, national, and international communities.
He has been the principal investigator of a number of National
Institute of Health supported research investigations, and has managed
a large number of other projects primarily related to clinical
neuroscience. He is the author of numerous research articles and has
presented nationally and internationally.
