CARE OF THE ELDERLY: STANDARDS FOR PROGRAMS IN CARE OF THEELDERLYThese discipline-specific standards for care of the elderly programs are complementary to andconsistent with the family medicine–specific standards and will clarify or expand on theB standards as they relate to the education of family physicians.IntroductionThe number of people and the proportion of the population older than age 65 are increasing.Elderly people, particularly those older than age 75 and who are frail or at risk for becoming frailwill require increased medical care by physicians with specific training. Family physicians play anincreasingly important role in the primary care of the frail elderly in the office, home, hospital,and nursing home. Others have developed their practice principally in home care or nursinghome programs. Partly because of the small number of geriatricians, family physicians have alsobecome resource persons in acute care hospitals, nursing homes, and the community, where theyoften act as consultants. In academic centres, family physicians are involved in teaching care ofthe elderly in family medicine units or are an integral part of geriatric divisions in clinical care,teaching, and research.The target populations for this program are those certified in family medicine who are inpractice or coming out of residency training and who want to refine and extend their skills andincrease their involvement in the care of the elderly in their practice. Their future professionalactivities should include the following:1. Primary care geriatric practice2. Being a community resource person in a rural or urban setting3. Program development4. An academic career in family practice health care of the elderlyCurriculumThe training is directed toward care of the frail elderly in the context of care of seniors generally,and toward preventing frailty. The following are four broad goals:1. Defining the discipline in terms of knowledge and attitudes2. Refining and extending clinical skills appropriate to the discipline36
