Clinical geriatrics is regarded as one of the most intricate and captivating fields of healthcare. Its complexity stems from the multifaceted approach required to provide comprehensive care. As a geriatric clinician, one must possess knowledge applicable to patients of all ages while staying abreast of the latest advancements in medical practices.
Moreover, working in clinical geriatrics entails a collaborative effort with patients and their families to determine what truly matters to the individual. This involves understanding their preferences and goals, and tailoring treatment plans accordingly. Adjustments must also be made considering the effects of aging on medication tolerance, procedural suitability, and the significant influence of psychosocial factors on treatment outcomes. It is this intricate interplay of medical, personal, and social aspects that makes clinical geriatrics so fascinating and rewarding.
