Course Information
Description
This elective offers the student a diverse, broad-based experience in the practice of geriatric medicine and understanding successful care transitions. Students will have the opportunity to rotate through a variety of clinical experiences including acute inpatient geriatrics, geriatrics inpatient consultations, acute and subacute rehabilitation, geriatric primary care/consultative clinics, and geriatric specialty clinics (i.e. memory clinic). During these experiences, students follow a patient from the inpatient to post-acute care setting to increase their understanding of the complexities of care transitions. Students interact closely with residents, geriatric medicine fellows, and attending physicians. The clinical experiences are supported by a formal educational curriculum including participation in geriatrics fellow conferences, geriatric medicine grand rounds, didactics that explore the costs of geriatrics care and regularly scheduled research and teaching conferences. There is no weekend or call requirement.
