Defined Tag: Geriatric Education.

With the need for quality senior care rising in the United States, the spotlight is brighter than ever on the importance of geriatric education for health care professionals. The kids of the 50s and 60s are moving into retirement age, and soon will come the natural increase in medical needs that goes hand in hand with aging. Though medical advances, particularly in this country, have made the pathway through the golden years that much smoother, there is still a long way to go. Societies such as the AGS have focused their efforts on providing this education and working to recruit young medical professionals into the field. With their efforts and the dedication of others, the field of geriatrics research and care has made tremendous strides.

Geriatric education itself is based off a branch of medicinal studies that concerns itself with diseases and complications that come with aging. Though it is popular nowadays to say such things as “thirty is the new twenty”, in real life, this is not the case. The human body is only built to last so long, and medicine is there to make the transition from middle age to old age that much easier. Geriatric study should not be confused with the study of gerontology, which is similar, but not quite the same. Gerontology is concerned primarily with the study of aging itself, while geriatrics is focused on the disabilities and disease that target the old.

Most individuals concerned with making their way through geriatric education are already general practitioners with a medical degree and several years of experience in the medical field. This is why the AGS has made it one of its primary responsibilities to recruit these doctors into the field of geriatrics. These practitioners have the opportunity to obtain certification in the field of geriatric medicine, thus expanding and simultaneously focusing their overall field of practice.
