29 Hours of Board-Review Lectures Covering Every Geriatric Subspecialty
The UCLA Geriatric Board Review 2023 is the 39th iteration of one of the nation’s longest-running geriatric medicine courses. Over 59 recorded sessions, faculty walk through the physiology of aging, pharmacokinetics in older adults, and organ-specific disease states — from pulmonary and cardiovascular medicine to neurology, hematology, and palliative care — building the comprehensive knowledge base you need for certification or recertification exams.

Inside this resource
Cardiovascular and pulmonary medicine
A high blood pressure update, atrial fibrillation management, and a heart failure session form the cardiac core. Pulmonary diseases in older persons and a COVID-19 treatment lecture address respiratory care. Perioperative assessment and cardiovascular disease optimization round out the surgical-prep component, giving you the evidence to manage cardiac risk before, during, and after procedures in elderly patients.
Neurology, dementia, and behavioral health
The cognitive track covers the full spectrum from impaired cognition through dementia pharmacotherapy to psychiatric and behavioral symptoms in Alzheimer’s and other dementias. Non-pharmacologic approaches to behavioral management, late-life depression treatment, anxiety disorders, and sleep problems complete the neuropsychiatric picture. An Arthur C. Cherkin Memorial Award Lecture on “Young Blood for Old Brains” highlights aging neuroscience research.
Pharmacology, nutrition, and multisystem updates
Pharmacokinetic considerations, explicit medication-appropriateness criteria, and clinical pharmacy pearls address the complexities of prescribing in older adults. Nutrition throughout the ages, type 2 diabetes updates, GI issues, prostate disease, urinary incontinence, chronic kidney disease, and rheumatologic advances (vasculitis, gout, rheumatoid arthritis) round out the organ-system review.
Geriatric syndromes and rehabilitation
Falls assessment and management, geriatric rehabilitation, pressure ulcers, pain assessment and management, and dermatologic conditions in aging skin form the syndromes block. Vision and hearing loss sessions address sensory impairment. Geriatric assessment principles, resilience and epigenetics, and a David H. Solomon Memorial Award Lecture on substance use in diverse populations provide the broader framework for comprehensive care.
Who this serves
- Physicians preparing for ABIM or ABFP geriatric exams — structured review of the full content blueprint for initial certification or recertification
- Primary care clinicians — practical updates on managing complex, multimorbid older adults in outpatient and inpatient settings
- Health professionals in geriatric care — evidence-based knowledge across neurology, cardiology, pharmacology, and palliative medicine

C. Rivera –
59 videos is a lot of content but the syllabus PDF helped me navigate efficiently. The pharmacology sessions on medication appropriateness were practical and well-presented.
Patricia Wong –
The dementia and pain management lectures were outstanding. The faculty clearly have deep clinical experience and the case-based approach made the material stick.
Mark Davidson –
Used this to prepare for ABIM geriatrics recertification and passed. The 29 hours cover the full blueprint — neurology, cardiology, pharmacology, and the syndromes are all there.
Diana Ross –
Comprehensive coverage across every organ system. The neurology and cardiology lectures gave me exactly the depth I needed for managing complex older adults with multiple comorbidities.
Angela Brooks –
The pharmacology section alone was worth it. Explicit criteria for medication appropriateness, pharmacokinetics in older adults, and clinical pharmacy pearls — all very actionable.
Kevin Tran –
Good content but the 16.5 GB download took forever on my connection. Would be nice to have a streaming option. The rheumatology and GI sessions were solid though.
R. Shah –
At 29.25 hours this is a serious time investment but the breadth is impressive. The perioperative assessment session was particularly useful for my surgical patients.
Jonathan Lee –
PDF syllabus is well-organized and pairs nicely with the video lectures. The COVID-19 and infectious disease sections kept things current. Board review material is solid.
