Geriatric Assessment in a Primary Care Environment: A Standardized Patient Case Activity for Interprofessional Students
Introduction Given the aging population and the benefits of comprehensive geriatric assessment to this subset of patients, an interprofessional education training approach may be advantageous for learners from a number of different health professions. Methods Through intercollegiate collaborations i...
