“Before going into CMOP, I had a very negative view on what aging is like … after CMOP I have a more positive outlook about what aging is like and can be, and what we can do for people to help them.” @gerismeded.bsky.social 👏🏻 @amrg-bristol.bsky.social

“There was one consultant [geriatrician] that I was like ‘I think I want to be like you’ … they were just incredibly knowledgeable … it was like magic … and I just wanted to be that person! I think they’re [role models] very important in driving your choice in specialty.” ✨🦄

“Geriatricians are walking encyclopedias, in my opinion, as they just do so much. And they’re also really kind, and they have the time to listen and you know, they’re happy to teach you. As a group of doctors, they just acknowledge your existence, so that’s always very nice.” ☺️

“They [geriatricians] took a lot more time thinking over the patients, and they look at the patient as a whole, which is so much more rewarding, because you feel like you’re actually making a difference that’s going to be one that lasts.” 💝
