Abstract
Long term care is critical for geriatric medical education. Many of the frailest and most vulnerable older adults are cared for in nursing homes (NH) where many of the geriatric competencies are easily taught. NHs are also an ideal setting for learning about health systems, interdisciplinary teamwork, and transitions of care. However, there are only a few reports of teaching NHs and trainees’ exposure to long term care is variable overall. We describe the development of a collaborative educational program between a geriatric fellowship and a community NH that enhances the fellows’ education and offers educational opportunities for other post-graduate trainees.
