Inside this resource
Cardiovascular and metabolic medicine
Suzanne Salamon opens with a broad geriatrics update, followed by sessions on hypertension (Lewis Lipsitz), chronic heart failure (Eli Gelfand), coronary artery disease (Joseph Kannam), arrhythmias (Peter Zimetbaum), dyslipidemia (Ariela Orkaby), and diabetes management (Medha Munshi). Peripheral artery disease and stroke round out the vascular block, giving you an evidence-based toolkit for the cardiac and metabolic conditions that dominate geriatric practice.
Neurology, cognition, and psychiatry
Daniel Press covers both diagnosis and treatment of dementia, while Melissa Mattison addresses delirium and Eran Metzger tackles late-life psychosis. Depression (Ipsit Vahia), Parkinson’s disease (David K. Simon), and sleep disorders (Charles Czeisler) complete the neurology track. Monday workshops add cognitive testing for the primary care clinician and a deeper dive into psychiatric problems in later life.
Musculoskeletal, pain, and rehabilitation
Douglas Kiel reviews osteoporosis, Devyani Misra covers osteoarthritis and challenging rheumatology cases, and Steven Atlas discusses spinal stenosis management. Pain control (Lara Skarf), pressure injury prevention (Madhuri Reddy), and falls assessment (Sarah Berry) round out the rehabilitation-focused sessions. A Saturday workshop on frailty with Dae Hyun Kim bridges assessment and action.
Perioperative assessment and primary care updates
Preoperative risk evaluation is handled by Houman Javedan and Dae Hyun Kim. Infectious disease in older adults (Mary LaSalvia), COPD (Eric Garshick), thyroid problems (Pamela Hartzband), kidney disease (Robert Cohen), and GI issues (Gary Trey) provide the broad primary-care update that ties the week together. Robert Schreiber closes with health screening strategies.
Geriatric syndromes and care navigation
Catherine DuBeau covers urinary incontinence and prostate disease, Anthony Cukras reviews aging skin, and Ward Fickweiler discusses common eye conditions. Christine Ritchie addresses the often-overlooked needs of care partners living with a dementia patient. Jerry Gurwitz leads a drug therapy session, Kenneth Bauer covers anticoagulation challenges and hematology essentials, and Nikhil Munshi examines hematologic malignancies in older adults.

James K. –
Comprehensive course but I would have liked more neurology depth — the dementia and delirium sessions felt too brief relative to the cardiovascular content. Five days is a big time commitment.
drtomh –
Solid five-day program. The frailty and cognitive testing workshops were hands-on and practical, though the cardiology block ran a bit long for my taste.
Margaret L. –
Steven Austad’s keynote on the biology of aging was worth the price alone. The perioperative risk sessions changed how I stratify patients before surgery.
R. Patel –
Good video quality and the PDFs are well-formatted. The 43-speaker lineup covers essentially every subspecialty you would encounter in a geriatrics practice.
Priya S. –
The heart failure and arrhythmia lectures by Eli Gelfand and Peter Zimetbaum were exactly what I needed for my aging patient panel. Downloaded cleanly and subtitles worked well.
Sarah Chen –
The advanced care planning workshop alone made this worthwhile. Real-world scenarios, not just theory. I have already changed how I approach goals-of-care conversations.
N. Alvarez –
Bought this to prep for a new geriatrics role and it delivered. The infectious disease and nephrology sessions were particularly useful for managing complex comorbidities.
