This course is designed to introduce the student to the physiologic, pharmacologic, and sociologic aspects of aging and to allow the student to gain a rudimentary appreciation and understanding of drug therapy issues to consider in the elderly. The course will focus on 1) physiological and practical aspects of medication use in the elderly, 2) the pharmacist’s role in geriatric care, and 3) the management of disease states and syndromes most commonly encountered in the elderly. The use of a case study format in class along with didactic presentations will allow the student to gain experience in designing and monitoring drug regimens for the geriatric patient.
