Research Interests
Dr. Bingham, a psychiatrist, is the physician lead for the North Simcoe Muskoka Specialized Geriatric Services. She is also an assistant professor with the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Toronto. She completed her medical training at Western University and her psychiatry residency at the University of Toronto. In 2019, she completed her PhD with the University of Toronto’s Institute of Medical Science. As part of her PhD thesis, she found that older adults with remitted psychotic depression have measurable challenges in everyday functioning that are related to persistent cognitive impairment.
Dr. Bingham’s research focuses on identifying potential mechanisms and predictors of outcome in late-life and psychotic depression, via several methods, including neuropsychological assessment, clinical assessment and magnetic resonance imaging. She has also participated as co-investigator on several multi-site clinical trials examining treatment options for late-life depression. Recognizing the importance of accurate and patient-oriented measurement instruments in her research, Dr. Bingham has a secondary interest in clinical measurement methodology, and is the co-instructor of the Measurement in Clinical Research course at the University of Toronto’s Institute of Health Policy, Management and Evaluation.
