Geriatrics Courses

Geriatrics courses can help you learn about age-related health issues, chronic disease management, and effective communication with older adults. You can build skills in conducting comprehensive assessments, developing care plans, and understanding pharmacology specific to geriatric patients. Many courses introduce tools such as electronic health records and assessment scales that assist in evaluating patient needs and tracking health outcomes.
