An ambulatory geriatric evaluation unit in a family geriatric curriculum.
Training in Geriatric Medicine has become increasingly important in the education of family physicians. This paper describes the experience of a community-based Family Medicine residency in developing an ambulatory Geriatric Evaluation Unit (GEU) as part of a comprehensive geriatric curriculum. The experience demonstrates the value of a multidisciplinary team approach, systematic development and integration of additional education activities as effective techniques for training family physicians and ancillary health care providers.
