Prescribing medicines for older patients

Older persons commonly experience complex health needs that are best met by a multifaceted healthcare team. Most healthcare disciplines provide geriatric competencies specific to their professions which support the development of IPE curricula. The American Geriatric Society provided a list of formal geriatric competencies that are useful to curriculum designers and health professions educators. The chapter provides ideas for imbedding commonly occurring geriatric concepts and clinical assessment tools that are relevant to all disciplines for the creation of interprofessional learning activities.
