The population age 65 and older increased from 39.6 million in 2009 to 54.1 million in 2019 (a 36% increase) and is projected to reach 94.7 million in 2060. The 85 and older population is projected to more than double from 6.6 million in 2019 to 14.4 million in 2040 (a 118% increase). This aging population is more likely to experience multiple comorbidities that result in frailty, falls, dementia, and other geriatric syndromes. Palliative care is a specialty focused on symptom management and assessing goals of care for seriously ill adults, and will frequently see older adults, but has limited training and exposure in basic geriatrics training. The purpose of this project is to Determine whether palliative care physician fellows receive training in geriatrics principles to equip them for taking care of seriously ill older adults. 000041735 540__ $$fCC BY 000041735 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000041735 650__ $$aAged$$014351 000041735 650__ $$aFrailty$$012156 000041735 650__ $$aGeriatrics$$019498 000041735 650__ $$aPhysicians$$024116 000041735 650__ $$aAging$$014358 000041735 650__ $$aDementia$$017461 000041735 651__ $$aUnited States$$041167 000041735 6531_ $$aassessment of learning 000041735 6531_ $$aeducational research findings 000041735 6531_ $$aeducational research methods and models 000041735 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000041735 692__ $$aDepartment of Medicine$$041425 000041735 7001_ $$aShafir, Adi$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000041735 711__ $$aSymposium on Educational Excellence$$uOregon Health and Science University$$d2023 000041735 8564_ $$962732cde-dfe7-45ba-8e7a-d056cb73b4fe$$s318236$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/41735/files/Abstract_SEE2023_ShafirAdi.pdf 000041735 980__ $$aOHSU Symposium on Educational Excellence (SEE) 000041735 981__ $$aPublished$$b2023-09-07
