HDG 808 - Year IV Geriatrics Elective - Geriatrics

This elective will provide students with unique interprofessional educational experiences focusing on health promotion and disease prevention in medically complex and geriatric patients. Interprofessional student team triads (DDS/NP/SW) will utilize a patient-centered approach to collaboratively assess patient’s oral health, clinical prevention and social service needs, and develop a coordinated plan of care with supervision of IPE clinical faculty (DDS/NP/SW). They will incorporate the USPSTF evidence-based recommendations for clinical preventive services by utilizing the Electronic Preventive Services Selector (ePSS); an application designed to provide primary care clinicians timely decision support regarding appropriate screening, counseling, and preventive services, taking into account patient characteristics (age, gender) and behavioral risk factors.
