MEDI G745 - Geriatrics


Credits: 2

The Geriatrics and Palliative Medicine elective is designed to help the student expand on prior experiences to advance knowledge of common Geriatrics Syndromes and improve skills in Geriatric patient assessment. The student will have the opportunity to engage in patient care in a variety of settings including acute care, outpatient care and long term care facilities with a focus on frail elderly patients. By the end of the rotation, the student will be required to demonstrate skills in functional, cognitive and social assessment. We encourage opportunities for student research and participation in program development.
