The Five Weekend Care of the Elderly Certificate Course is an enhanced learning experience that is of greater depth than a Continuing Medical Education (CME) conference, but not as time consuming as a one-year clinical care of the elderly fellowship. It is aimed at primary care physicians (family physicians/trainees/nurse practitioners) who want to develop their own clinical skills or function as resources in their group practices. Geriatric “pearls” gained from experienced clinicians are provided.
