This course builds on the management of acute and chronic illness to focus on the health care needs of the older adult with chronic illness in the primary care setting. A holistic approach to promoting wellness, maintaining function, and self-care is emphasized. Evidence-based research will drive healthcare decision making, pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical management to promote quality of life with older adults. Ethical dilemmas that impact the care of older adults such as palliative care measures, supportive measures, and family care giving at end of life are integrated.
