Geriatric Medicine

The field of geriatric medicine covers every aspect of health and disease for the elderly in a variety of care environments. This is the biggest specialty in medicine. Intelligence-friendly work, often multidisciplinary collaboration and the potential for a huge impact on the lives of elderly persons are involved. Geriatrists treat a wide range of general medical conditions and possess the skills needed to diagnose and manage conditions in patients with multiple comorbidities and frailty, a low-physiological-reserve syndrome.

Geriatric services treat the elderly with complicated medical conditions that cause functional impairment. Geriatric patients typical of the field are overlaid with functional decline, frailty, frequent fall, dementia, delirium, incontinence, and a variety of complex chronic conditions. Geriatric services aim to improve the condition of an older person, improve their functioning in the collective and promote an older person's overall well-being.
