title: Exploring buzzwords: enhancing general knowledge.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  After two decades of totally enjoyable consultant pharmacist practice, my learning approach is stagnant, mostly focusing on acquiring continuing education (CE) credits in familiar areas. How can I stay more current in general medicine and get ahead on what to expect next in geriatric medicine?
  
  
  METHODS
  In any pharmacy practice, it's easy to focus on one's specialty, neglecting broader learning. Even if this is understandable, the peril is ignorance of cutting-edge developments in other specialties. In addition to broadening knowledge and stimulating creativity, lessons learned from medicine, science, and technology innovations may deepen insights, suggest improvements, or create the underpinnings of the next breakthrough in geriatric care and long-term care pharmacy.
