Geriatrics Interest Group (GIG)

This group focuses on prevalent healthcare issues related to the aging population (65+). This includes geriatrics, end-of-life care, palliative care, chronic illness, medical homes, etc. As future doctors, especially in Florida, the geriatric population will most likely comprise a significant portion of our practice, and it would be helpful now to learn more about this age group and their healthcare issues. The Geriatric Interest Group (GIG) aims to involve medical students in the elderly community and to disseminate necessary information regarding unique approaches and medical care involved in caring for the geriatric population.
