Description
Summary:As the number of older adults grows, there is an increasing need for healthcare teams equipped to provide holistic care for older adults.1 Many trainees, including medical students,2 report low confidence in caring for older adults, despite the national consensus that all medical students should graduate with core geriatric competencies.3 We created a pocket card outlining key geriatrics concepts to improve medical and dental students' self‐efficacy in caring for older adults. The Geriatrics 5Ms Pocket Card (GeriPC; Figure S1) condenses key areas of geriatric clinical care into a concise, memorable framework.
