Fantastic talk by @drrshah identifying high frailty and mortality (15%!) in the house call population, plus higher prevalence of dementia, higher functional impairment in house call patients seen in group residences (compared to private residences). Well done! #AGS19

[linneacolleenMD @LinneacolleenM]

Excited for the lightning science round and to hear my co-fellow @drrshah enlighten us on frailty in the house call patient population!! #AGS19

Fascinating talk by Daniel Parker, MD of #dukemedicine re: biomarker-derived clusters: “optimal aging,” “dysmetabolic-inflamed,” and “inflamm-aging” each associated with differing self-report measures e.g. of cognition and physical function. #AGS19 #geriatrics

[linneacolleenMD @LinneacolleenM]

Broad-reaching and impactful!

Shirley Bloodworth, age ~90: We have lots of doctors taking care of body parts. That’s not very exciting. #holistic #geriatrics “Using Personal Narratives in Geriatrics: How stories can impact care, medical education, and advocacy for older adults #AGS19 M Otto, MD

Loving the concept of the “empathy-driven interview” in clinical medicine. How often “trying to get to the heart of the story [too] quickly, we miss that story.” #AGS19 #narrativemedicine

[linneacolleenMD @LinneacolleenM]

Listening to Mallory Otto from Univ of Florida talk about her curriculum to change medical students’ attitudes toward older adults and geriatrics, through the power of narrative medicine. #whygeriatrics #geriatrics #AGS19
