What distinguishes Stony Brooks approach to geriatric medicine?
We provide many educational opportunities. We train five geriatric medicine fellows a year, as well as residents in medicine and psychiatry, faculty, and health education professionals-many of whom work or go on to work in the community. Because we train the next generation in the proper care of the elderly, we stay abreast of best practices, and have held interdisciplinary conferences on such topics as management of infections, cancers, obesity, dementia, health literacy, and cultural differences and nuances of care. Our outpatient geriatric program provides comprehensive evaluation of patients living with common geriatric conditions, including memory loss, urinary incontinence, gait and balance disorders, dizziness, and weight loss. A team of geriatric experts can help develop a plan of care for frail elders with the aim of keeping patients as functional and independent, for as long as possible.
