80061051 - Edmund G. Beacham 50th Annual Current Topics in Geriatrics

Thursday, March 2, 2023, 7:30 AM - Saturday, March 4, 2023, 5:10 PM, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Turner Auditorium, Baltimore, MD


This hybrid conference will be held in-person at the Thomas B Turner Building, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, 720 Rutland Ave, Baltimore, MD 21205 and virtually via Zoom.

As the older adult population lives longer and becomes increasingly diverse, it is imperative that we offer high quality continuing education in the care and management of geriatric patients. Most physicians have received very little or no formal geriatrics training, despite this growing trend in the number of older adults they care for. This activity is designed to provide practical information to clinicians and healthcare professionals who care for older adults. It will address the specific challenges faced by providers and support team in the diagnosis and management of dementia. Other challenging topics will include dementia, COVID-19 and health screening in the older adult population. The activity will improve knowledge about diseases and syndromes common in the elderly and offer practical and effective guides to their management.

We wish to acknowledge the support of the Johns Hopkins Geriatrics Workforce Enhancement Program.
