Geriatric Medicine Tuesday Rounds
Geriatric Medicine Rounds take place 3 Tuesday afternoons each block. They consist of a Clinical Practice Review, Journal Club and Difficult Case Discussions.
The Clinical Practice Review (CPR) is a presentation aimed at advancing the care of older adults. These one-hour presentations can cover a wide variety of topics, from AI to Indigenous issues to presenting new guidelines for a common geriatric syndrome. While typically presented by geriatricians or geriatric medicine residents/fellows, we do welcome guests when their expertise overlaps the practice of Geriatric Medicine. The goal of these presentations are to provide an overview of a particular subject, rather than presenting a specific research article.
The Journal Club provides a forum for critical appraisal of current research literature, facilitating discussions on its clinical implications and strategies for evidence-based practice. These rounds further deepen our exploration of specific clinical topics, encouraging collaborative learning and enhancing our proficiency in addressing complex patient care challenges.
Difficult Case Discussion Rounds. Geriatric Medicine is full of complexity. These rounds, held monthly, open the dialogue to discuss difficult cases that come up in real clinical practice. Questions range from medical queries like diagnostic or treatment uncertainty, to ethical dilemmas. On occasion, interesting cases are presented to illustrate unique or novel diagnoses or processes. Cases are timely, often being actively being managed by the presenter, in order to bring that real time advice to better patient care."
