Geriatrics, Gerontology & Palliative Care Grand Rounds
The UC San Diego Division of Geriatrics, Gerontology & Palliative Care hosts a monthly Grand Rounds. This series takes place every 1st Tuesday of the month from 12:00–1:00 p.m.
Goal
To provide needs-based education for physicians and health care providers to improve knowledge, competence, and performance and enable the optimum provision of health care.
Objectives
- Employ geriatric medicine, gerontology, and palliative care principles for maximizing patient health and enhancing patient care.
- Discuss current assessments, management techniques, and treatment recommendations available for different geriatric conditions and for those with serious illness at any stage of disease.
- Identify patient-centered and system-wide strategies designed to improve quality of care and reduce iatrogenic events.
- Distinguish differences in care guidelines for older vs younger patients.
- Recognize the role of social determinants of health and how they can impact care and decision-making.
