Board-certified in both general psychiatry and geriatric psychiatry with a 2012 D.O. from the New York Institute of Technology College of Osteopathic Medicine, Raisa Yagudayeva practices through UC San Diego Health at the Hillcrest campus on West Arbor Drive. Her dual board certification and faculty appointment with the UCSD Geriatric Psychiatry Fellowship Program place her in clinical referral conversation with the dementia-care specialists at George G. Glenner Alzheimer's Family Centers, Inc.. Russian-language sessions are available, and her published research covers sleep disturbances, cognitive deficits in schizophrenia, and well-being in older adults in journals including the Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry. Her hospital affiliation runs through Hillcrest Medical Center at UC San Diego Health, the inpatient anchor for the same campus where she sees outpatient consults and trains psychiatry residents and fellows. Her highest-acuity work involves diagnostic and treatment management of major neurocognitive disorder layered with depression, psychosis, and electroconvulsive therapy candidacy in adults over 65, a sub-specialty drawn directly from her geriatric psychiatry fellowship training.
