Ask the Geriatrician was developed to address the shortage of geriatricians available to meet with older adults and their caregivers in the United States. Geriatricians specialize in preventing and treating health issues in adults ages 65 plus, yet many people never have the opportunity to speak with one.
Ask the Geriatrician is a recurring monthly program shown live and later by demand. The first webcast is March 3 at 10:30 a.m. Future Ask the Geriatrician webcasts are scheduled for April 28 and May 26, all at 10:30 a.m. CST. Dates and times are subject to change and any updates will be posted on mmLearn.org.
