# Ambulatory Care-Geriatrics

## <mark style="background-color:blue;">Mission Statement of the Clerkship</mark>&#x20;

The Ambulatory Care-Geriatrics Clerkship provides opportunities for students to interact with and participate in the care of patients in both the outpatient and inpatient settings and across the life span and spectrum of illness - acute illness, chronic disease management, patients with serious illness and occasionally end-of-life care.

## <mark style="background-color:blue;">Goals of the Clerkship</mark>

To gain first-hand experience interacting with patients in an outpatient setting (and inpatient geriatrics), providing patient-centered care focusing on social determinants of health, and addressing common outpatient diagnoses in a team-based setting, with special attention to the needs of older adults and those with complex illness across sites of care.
