Complex Patients. Comprehensive CME.

Caring for older adults and patients with serious illness means navigating multiple conditions and complex treatment decisions. This intensive online video CME course from the Brookdale Department of Geriatrics and Palliative Medicine at Mount Sinai brings practical guidance from experts in both fields to the challenges you encounter every day.

 

Drawing on a program that has trained one in five geriatricians nationwide, you’ll gain evidence-based insights from the Intensive Update with Board Review in Geriatrics and Palliative Medicine that span a remarkably broad range of continuing medical education topics, including:

• Dementia and cognitive impairment — diagnosis, treatment, behavioral symptoms, and screening
• Deprescribing and medication management in patients with multiple chronic conditions
• Pain and symptom management — from opioids and adjuvants to advanced pain strategies
• Serious illness communication — advance care planning, family meetings, and patient-centered decision-making
• High-impact geriatric concerns — frailty, falls, osteoporosis, delirium, depression, and geriatric emergencies
