Through interactive, case-based learning, participants will explore agerelated considerations in cardiovascular, endocrine, exocrine, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, renal, respiratory, neurological, psychiatric, and infectious disorders. The program also provides practical strategies for comprehensive medication management, including the use of vitamins, complementary and alternative therapies, and safe, evidence-based approaches to pain management.
