According to the Centers for Disease Control, the population of the United States is aging at an unprecedented rate; by 2030, approximately 72 million members of the population, or nearly 20%, will be age 65 or older. Along with the aging of the population will come a great need for physicians and providers trained in the special needs of the older population, from the physical and medical changes that accompany aging to the unique psychosocial needs of older adults. In order to care for the unique needs of this rapidly growing audience, graduating medical students must have the knowledge and understanding of geriatric medicine. Providing effective and compassionate care in various settings and restoring health and function of older patients through various therapies is essential. The geriatrics rotation will focus on the preventative medicine services, chronic disease management, health promotion and conditions that may be unique to the geriatric patient. Students will have the opportunity to provide comprehensive and team-based care to older adults (i.e. care plans, goals of care, patient-focused functionality and quality versus debility and quantity), as well as have more focused problem-based encounters addressing impairment of hearing or vision, dementia, delirium, falls, gait disturbances, polypharmacy, mood disorders, failure to thrive, incontinence, loss of ADLs and safety awareness, elderly abuse, chronic pain, and sleep disorders. Through this unique experience, the medical students will be equipped with a body of knowledge and experiences to carry forward into future professional endeavors (e.g. residency). The student will attend weekly Grand Rounds and Internal Medicine block conference.
