Geriatrics and Palliative Medicine for Internal Medicine Physicians: 2024 Video Recordings Package

Internal Medicine Meeting Recordings

Expert clinician-educations will focus on practical, evidence-based strategies that the internal medicine physician can use across care settings to better identify and treat serious and chronic conditions common to older populations, such as cognitive impairment; function assessment, frailty, and falls; depression and anxiety; and hazards of hospitalization. Expert faculty will discuss primary palliative care approaches, including strategies for clinical decision making and deprescribing in the setting of complex medical conditions; providing a systematic approach to pain and symptom management; applying principles of prognostication to those with serious illness and advanced age; and serious illness communication skills.

This collection of virtual lectures will also cover:

  • how disease manifests differently in older adults and disease management in older adults using the Geriatrics 5Ms (mind, mobility, medications, multicomplexity, and what matters most) approach
  • practical strategies to identify and address geriatric syndromes that are common among older adults
  • hazards of hospitalization for older adults and review methods to minimize these risks
  • options for transitions of care for older adults and those with serious and chronic illness
  • palliative care management of common symptoms and complex medical conditions.
