HDG 808 - Year IV Geriatrics Elective
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.
