Geriatrics, the subspecialty of medicine focusing on the care of older adults, is an exciting, ever-evolving field that has broad applicability to all areas of medicine. With the rising numbers of older adults, geriatric medicine plays a crucial role in our healthcare system. While fellowship training in geriatrics provides expertise in medical and social issues common in older adults, patient and family communication, transitions of care, and health systems, it is vital that all internists develop familiarity with geriatric principles.
