Description

This comprehensive, high-yield educational activity is designed to enhance clinical competence in geriatric psychiatry and support clinicians preparing for the geriatric psychiatry board examination. Led by expert, board-certified faculty with extensive experience in clinical practice and education, the course delivers a structured review of core diagnostic and therapeutic topics relevant to the evaluation and management of psychiatric disorders in older adults. Through evidence-based content and interactive board-style self-assessment questions, participants will reinforce key concepts, identify learning needs, and integrate best practices into patient care.

Learning Objectives

Participants will be able to:

  • Define and distinguish key terms in hospice and palliative medicine (HPM), including palliative care, hospice, and primary palliative care, as they are tested on board-style clinical scenarios.

  • Identify settings and models of palliative care delivery and recognize how these models apply to common exam vignettes involving older adults with serious illness.

  • Describe the hospice model, including core eligibility criteria and levels of care, with attention to common board-relevant misconceptions.

Educational Goal

The educational goal of this workshop is to provide participants with high-yield hospice and palliative medicine knowledge relevant to the geriatric psychiatry board examination, with emphasis on definitions, care settings, hospice eligibility, and interdisciplinary roles. Participants will enhance their ability to apply these concepts to board-style clinical scenarios involving older adults with serious illness.
