Clinical Update

This year, we are excited to bring you the 33^rd Clinical Update in Geriatric Medicine in a virtual format. Our Course Directors and the Conference Planning team have created a program that will deliver a practical as well as an evidence-based approach. This year’s conference also includes Q&A sessions, vendor halls, and opportunities to engage in conversations with speakers, exhibitors, and fellow attendees.

In 2025, we want to highlight our new format that will drive the lectures and conversations: Fostering Age-Friendly Care through the 5Ms: Mentation, Medication, Mobility, What Matters Most, Multicomplexity. In each of these categories, speakers will deliver pragmatic, relevant clinical pearls for a broad range of topics facing clinicians who care for older adults, with the opportunity for interactive Q/A.

Speakers handpicked by a multidisciplinary committee of clinicians from academics, practice, and the payer community. Selection was based on two criteria:

Expertise, which in most cases is nationally recognized and responsible for the recent advances relevant to practice.
Ability to convey information, in a practical, succinct, and entertaining way that will allow attendees to immediately incorporate lessons into their practice and feel inspired to advance the quality of care for their older adult patients.

Topics and Structure

Mentation: Caring for patients across the full spectrum of cognitive and behavioral health
Medication: Optimizing pharmacological management in older adults
Mobility: Promoting safe movement and preventing functional decline
What Matters Most: Patient-centered care and shared decision making
Multicomplexity: Improving outcomes of older adults with multiple comorbidities through the Age-Friendly framework
