The pillars of preventative geriatric care include screening, counseling and immunizations. Participate in this module to learn about national guideline recommendations for screening older adults, screening special populations, such as veterans, and strategies for counseling older adults about nutrition, exercise, and social connectivity. Learn which immunizations are recommended for older adults and what preventative services are available.

This learning module, created by Ashish Ansal and Valerie Gruss, discusses preventative geriatric care. By the end of the module, learners should be able to: (1) describe which screening services are suggested for older adults; (2) define strategies for counseling older adults about nutrition, exercise, and smoking cessation; (3) identify which immunizations are recommended for older adults; and (4) describe preventative services available to older adults. Registration is required to access the material but there is no charge.
