Two new drug options, varenicline and bupropion, have been used successfully in the context of medically managed residential treatment at the Mayo Clinic Nicotine Dependence Center.
Mayo Clinic has established the Mayo Clinic Robert and Arlene Kogod Center on Aging. The mission of the new center is to understand and improve the aging process with the vision of a longer and healthier life for all. It will integrate aging-related research, education and practice across multiple medical disciplines and research themes.
The center is directed by James Kirkland, M.D., Ph.D., General Internal Medicine, a nationally recognized expert in geriatric medicine and aging research. Dr. Kirkland was recently recognized by the Mayo Clinic Board of Trustees as the recipient of the Noaber Foundation Professorship in Aging Research.
