PURPOSE
With support from the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation, this app was designed to introduce learners to the outpatient Geriatric health care team, common Geriatric terminology and ways to optimally communicate with team members.
SUPPORT
Univeristy of California, Irvine (UC Irvine) School of Medicine’s Division of Geriatric Medicine & Gerontology was awarded a generous grant from the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation in 2009 to strengthen and enhance geriatrics education for UC Irvine’s School of Medicine medical students, residents and faculty. UC Irvine’s Reynolds Program has focused on a “Return to the Patient-Doctor Relationship” with compassionate, patient-centered care taught through a triad of subthemes: health literacy, communication skills and medical decision-making.
