As the population around the world ages, health systems and other infrastructures struggle to build a workforce that is trained to handle the unique challenges presented by geriatric patients.

Each chapter provides a summary of important and essential information and includes case studies to clearly demonstrate each situation, key points and algorithms to facilitate step- by- step approach to solve problems. Unlike any other resource, this text is the first to focus particularly on this portion of aging patients and covers topics that range from elder abuse, competency, immunity, malnutrition, frailty and a wide array of topics that present in the geriatric population.
