Is anything more fun than talking to students and trainees about their interest in #geriatrics?
We had so much fun at the #AGS25 resident breakfast about our fellowship program. We gave away a lot of swag but not quite all...
If you see me at AGS come say hello and get your own block M gear 💙💛

Ethical considerations in decision making - important to move beyond the binary!

Opinion: What is the point of cutting geriatrics programs?
This federal proposal is not efficient, promoting health, preparing for the future nor providing you the services you expect from your tax dollars.

Effective treatment of high blood pressure is low-cost and simple, and reduces the risk not only of heart attack, stroke, and kidney failure but also of dementia, according to an important new study.
Blood pressure reduction and all-cause dementia in people with uncontrolled hypertension: an open-label, blinded-endpoint, cluster-randomized trial - Nature Medicine
In the CRHCP-3 cluster-randomized trial, blood pressure reduction lowered the risk of all-cause dementia by 15% in 33,995 individuals with hypertension.
