Geriatricians are physicians with special training in the the care of older adults. There are around 7,500 geriatricians in the U.S. and over 60 million adults over age 65. As people age, they experience physical changes that are unique from younger adults. With over-crowded emergency rooms and 10 minute doctor's appointments, the current health system is ill equipped to handle the health needs of our elders.
EldercareMD seeks to put valuable knowledge about aging and geriatric medicine into the hands of elder care partners, helping you ensure that your elders get the best in care.
Access our resources via our free newsletter and our subscription-based mobile or web apps. New learning modules are added every month to an expanding library of resources.
