AGS Geriatrics Virtual Patient Cases Modules
The American Geriatrics Society released the Geriatrics Virtual Patient Cases (VPC) Modules for Surgical and Related Medical Sub-Specialties on Geriatrics Care Online. There are nine cases (with one additional case coming soon) focused on the geriatrics aspects of surgical and related medical subspecialty care of older adults, developed to help diplomates gain a better understanding of the common challenges that can arise in this population. Each case provides separate CME credits and MOC points, and is available for free to the first 1,000 subscribers.
