Specialist Curriculum
A bite-sized Geriatric Emergency Medicine course for any clinical provider.
This 1-day crash course will give a clinical provider an overview of assessing an older person with urgent and emergency care needs presenting in crisis across the emergency care axis.
It will touch upon relevant interventions to raise awareness of further competencies to be developed in this area.
For those interested in the more detailed 2 day course, I offer commissioned courses – one for Emergency Dept clinicians and another for Prehospital/Community providers. Email me for details.
