Foundations of Geriatric Medicine: Evidence-Based Clinical Practice, Aging Physiology, and Comprehensive Care Planning for Older Adults

Build a Clearer, Stronger Approach to Modern Geriatric Medicine Caring for older adults requires more than knowing diseases in isolation. It requires clinical judgment, functional thinking, medication awareness, communication, prevention, and care planning that reflects the complexity of aging. Yet many resources are too broad, too fragmented, or too disconnected from the practical decisions clinicians and trainees face when working with older patients. This book was created to make geriatric medicine clearer, more structured, and easier to apply.
