Medical Education in Geriatrics: Strategies for Teaching the Care of Older Adults provides an overview of evidence-based strategies for teaching geriatrics in medical education. This book is for clinician educators: both for those with geriatrics expertise seeking to increase their knowledge and skill in education, and for those medical educators seeking to expand their knowledge of how to teach geriatric principles to their learners and thereby prepare them to care for older adults. Written by experts and leaders in Geriatric Medical Education from across the US and Canada, Medical Education in Geriatrics highlights approaches for creating effective educational experiences in geriatrics for learners ranging from pre-clinical medical students, through residency, fellowship and continuing medical education, as well as interprofessional education, with an emphasis on evidence-based, engaging and memorable teaching strategies. The book also provides strategies for teaching geriatrics in a variety of settings, including the hospital, outpatient settings, nursing home, home care, and telemedicine. Additional chapters address considerations in teaching geriatrics, including Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, Providing Feedback, assessment in geriatric medical education, online resources, and other topics that will help educators deliver excellent medical education in geriatrics. Medical Education in Geriatrics: Strategies for Teaching the Care of Older Adults provides practical and evidence-based strategies for teaching principles of geriatrics in a variety of settings and will be a valuable and practical resource for geriatricians, palliative medicine specialists and trainees, family medicine and internal medicine clinicians and medical educators, medical educators in pre-clinical and clinical settings, residency and fellowship directors, and medical students and residents interested in geriatrics and the care of older adults.
