What is a Geriatrician and How Can They Help You?

A geriatrician specializes in healthcare for older adults, addressing age-related medical complexity and functional status. These physicians focus on maintaining independence, managing multiple conditions, and optimizing quality of life in elderly patients.

Geriatricians complete medical school, a residency in internal medicine or family medicine, and a one-year geriatric medicine fellowship emphasizing age-related syndromes, medication optimization, and comprehensive geriatric evaluation.

A Geriatrician's practice involves:

  • Emphasizes the aging process and geriatric syndrome management
  • Performs holistic geriatric evaluations, coordinates multiple chronic conditions, manages care transitions
  • Addresses cognitive decline, balance disorders, frailty syndromes, bone fragility, medication complexity, and age-related functional limitations
  • Uses pharmaceutical optimization, injury prevention protocols, cognitive screening, and interdisciplinary care planning
  • Alternative names: elder medicine physician, gerontology specialist, MD, DO
