Please Welcome "Dr. Debbie" to HealthCare Journey!

As a new feature to the HealthCare Journey website, we would like to introduce you to Deborah Backus, or "Dr. Debbie".  Deborah Backus, PT, PhD is Director of Multiple Sclerosis Research at the Shepherd Center in Atlanta, Georgia. She received her B.S. in Physical Therapy in 1986, and her Ph.D. in neuroscience in 2004. You can read more about her to the right of this blog in the "About Dr. Debbie" section.

We have found through this website that all the MS research out there can be challenging to understand, analyze, and interpret. Finding out information about clinical trials and how to join can sometimes by difficult.  We hope that Deborah's blog will help you understand MS research a bit better and answer any questions you might have about research you find on the web or from other sources. 

So please welcome Dr. Debbie to the HealthCare Journey team, and if you have any questions about research, please ask her about them!
