No Doctors for Old Men? We Have An Answer for That!
Every year thousands of Canadians enter medical school and start a journey where they meet, learn from and work with many talented medical professionals including: pediatricians, family physicians, general internists, emergency medicine physicians, surgeons, obstetricians, gynecologists, anesthesiologists, psychiatrists and many others. However, medical students are rarely given the opportunity to engage with geriatricians during their medical education. In fact, many medical trainees may go through their entire medical education without ever being taught about the unique health needs that older people may have.
