This module introduces learners to the principles and practice of geriatric medicine. Participants will explore the biological, psychological, and social aspects of aging, demographic trends, and the unique healthcare needs of older adults. The module emphasizes healthy aging, age-related physiological changes, and the role of geriatricians in delivering patient-centered care. Learners will develop a foundational understanding of comprehensive geriatric assessment and multidisciplinary care models.

This module focuses on evaluating the functional, cognitive, emotional, and social health of older adults. Learners will gain expertise in standardized geriatric assessment tools and methods used to identify frailty, disability, and care needs. The module emphasizes individualized care planning and monitoring of functional outcomes.

This module examines age-related pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic changes that influence medication use in older adults. Learners will understand the challenges of polypharmacy, medication reconciliation, adverse drug reactions, and deprescribing strategies. Evidence-based prescribing practices will be emphasized to improve patient safety and outcomes.

This module covers the diagnosis and management of common cardiovascular diseases affecting older adults. Learners will explore age-related cardiovascular changes and evidence-based approaches to managing hypertension, heart failure, ischemic heart disease, and arrhythmias in geriatric populations.

This module focuses on neurological conditions commonly encountered in elderly patients. Learners will develop skills in assessing cognitive impairment, dementia, Parkinson’s disease, and other neurodegenerative disorders. Management strategies for maintaining quality of life and caregiver support are also addressed.

This module focuses on maintaining mobility and musculoskeletal health in aging populations. Participants will learn about osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, sarcopenia, fractures, and rehabilitation strategies that help preserve independence and reduce disability.

Falls and frailty are major contributors to morbidity in older adults. This module provides comprehensive training in risk assessment, prevention strategies, post-fall evaluation, and rehabilitation programs designed to restore function and reduce recurrent falls.

This module explores the management of chronic diseases commonly affecting older adults. Learners will integrate patient-centered approaches to optimize treatment plans while considering multimorbidity, functional status, and quality of life.

This module highlights the importance of nutrition and preventive healthcare in aging populations. Learners will assess nutritional status, identify deficiencies, and implement preventive strategies including vaccination, screening, and health promotion.

This module prepares learners to manage serious illness and end-of-life issues in older adults. Participants will learn principles of palliative care, symptom management, ethical decision-making, advance care planning, and communication with patients and families.

The final module integrates theoretical knowledge with practical clinical application. Learners will participate in geriatric case discussions, evidence-based practice activities, quality improvement projects, and research initiatives. The module culminates in a capstone project demonstrating competency in geriatric medicine.
