What Is a Geriatrician?
Geriatricians are trained to manage the unique healthcare needs of older adults, including age-related changes in the body, multiple medical conditions, and complex medication regimens. They work to optimize the health and well-being of older adults, prevent or manage chronic diseases, and help patients maintain their independence and quality of life. Geriatricians may also collaborate with other healthcare professionals, such as social workers, physical therapists, and occupational therapists, to provide comprehensive care for their patients.
