title: Symposium on geriatric care:.
abstract: Academic geriatricians are challenged to develop clinical programs which meet needs in the area of patient care as well as medical student and resident education and research. The creation of such programs within tertiary care institutions can be complex based on existing, traditional styles of care, the increasing demand for geriatric education and the fiscal reality of caring for frail, complex patients. In this article we discuss how five such institutions have met this challenge.
