Biosketch
Dr. Inscore was awarded a doctoral degree in clinical psychology from Loyola University in Maryland, and completed one year of research and two years of clinical postdoctoral training in neuropsychology at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine (Departments of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, respectively). She worked in the capacity of a clinical neuropsychologist at the Baltimore VA Medical Center from December 2007-January 2023, and served as the Director of Training for the VA’s postdoctoral residency program. She joined the UMMC Department of Neurology faculty as an Associate Professor in February 2023. Dr. Inscore became board-certified in clinical neuropsychology in April 2013. Dr. Inscore’s dissertation research investigated the relationship between coping and adherence to treatment regimen in patients with type 2 diabetes, and she has clinical research interests in the relationship between stress, weight loss, and neurocognitive function in patients with metabolic syndrome. She was the PI on pilot and feasibility grant entitled “Yoga to Improve Psychological and Neuroendocrine Function and Promote Weight Loss in Obesity.” Her research interests also include investigation of the relationship between social determinants of health, medical, neuropsychological, and functional status in persons who are aging or those with dementia.
