Geriatric Care Study Track

Build the clinical reasoning to assess, manage, and support older adults across cognition, mobility, and medication safety.

What this track covers

This track covers the core skills of caring for older adults: comprehensive geriatric assessment, cognitive and functional screening, fall risk evaluation, and safe medication management in the context of polypharmacy. It's built for clinicians who see elderly patients in primary care, hospital, or long-term care settings and want sharper judgment on complex, multi-condition presentations.

What you will practice

  • Work through a functional and cognitive status assessment
  • Identify fall risk factors and plan a mitigation approach
  • Apply Beers criteria reasoning to a multi-drug regimen
  • Recognize red flags that distinguish delirium from dementia
  • Weigh deprescribing decisions against patient goals and comorbidities

Simulator scenario

A timed case where an older adult presents with a recent fall and subtle cognitive change, requiring the clinician to sort out contributing medications, functional status, and next steps.

Board question topics

  • Comprehensive geriatric assessment components
  • Fall risk factors and screening approaches
  • Beers criteria and high-risk medication classes
  • Delirium versus dementia differentiation
