Therefore, we conducted a scoping review of interventions and international policies designed to prevent or reduce the level of frailty in community-dwelling older adults. Metho...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES We addressed a lack of geriatric content in our third-year family medicine clerkship. Adding this content posed a challenge in that students are dispersed to clinical sites across New England. Our goal was to promote student skill in functional assessment of elderly patients.

A group of elderly cancer patients is very heterogeneous according to the health status - some of them are fit enough for aggressive treatment, but others are frail and vulnerable. Treatment for the latter group has to be adapted and carefully monitored. AIM To rev...
