Masterclass in Geriatric Medicine
Registration for this event has now closed. If you would like to be added to the waitlist, please contact events@adpha.au.
This seminar will be delivered by a combination of a self-paced learning package (available from late April), comprising approximately 4hrs of learning materials, followed by a live seminar on Saturday 3 June.
The self-paced learning package will cover the following topics:
- Navigating clinical aging research
- Interpreting and utilising cognitive assessment tools
- Controversies in geriatric pharmacology
The focus of the live seminar is interactive learning through two workshop sessions and one clinical case session and simulation.
- Critical appraisal workshop: This workshop will facilitate critical appraisal of evidence with a geriatric medicine lens. Attendees will work through key landmark trials to draw out key learning and practice points to apply to different settings and patient scenarios.
- Cognitive assessments and discharge planning workshop: This workshop will provide an opportunity to apply cognitive assessment tools and medication management considerations (DAA, self-administration of medication trials etc) in complex discharge planning scenarios.
- Changed behaviours clinical case session and simulation: This clinical case session will explore the pharmacological management of changed behaviours in dementia and provide an opportunity to apply learnings in simulation scenarios
Please note: all attendees will have 18 weeks of access to the seminar self-paced learning package and resources from your date of enrolment into this page. Enrolment details will be sent to registered attendees when available.
