@anandiyermd @MLRobertsonMD @jesscolburn I’m really not sure! The pathway has to be institution specific and requires both a flexible candidate and flexible GME leadership. There are a number of complexities but it has not been difficult to get ABFM/ABIM board or ACGME approval.
@anandiyermd @MLRobertsonMD We have created a part-time pathway for geriatrics fellowship at Swedish Medical Center in Seattle. It exists! (Multiple other institutions too) https://t.co/yDkZlgw5Px
@MLRobertsonMD @MLRobertsonMD refreshing this. I’m working w hospital nurses and patient safety attendants (PSA) @ProvSwedish to create distraction/activity carts/kits for people living w dementia and at risk for delirium. Can you connect me to your Cog Behav Service team to run ideas by them?
More older folks w longer stays in hospital due to short staffing in post acute SNF, family illness or exhaustion, & other reasons. Anyone have creative ideas or protocols to keep these folks (many with dementia) engaged cognitively? Such a critical need during covid times.
@sdukehan@WorldVision Congrats @sdukehan! That’s an awesome way to celebrate delivering a great talk on Financial Exploitation Risk and the Brain at #AGS23!
