Geriatric Medicine Refresher Day

Geriatric Medicine Refresher Day is the largest multidisciplinary gathering in Southwestern Ontario of physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses, therapists, social workers, personal care workers, educators, managers and researchers working in geriatric care. It regularly sells out, drawing 600 participants each year from hospitals, long-term care homes, home and community care programs, and family health teams.

This annual conference provides professionals with the opportunity to broaden their knowledge base, to refine specific skills, and to meet with others who share their concern in improving quality care for the older adult. The plenary session encourages interdisciplinary discussion of a subject common to all, while concurrent sessions provide medical updates and review of best practices of topics in geriatric care.
