Geriatric syndromes to residents and medical students. The first year goals of the proposed education program are intended to address the lack of formal training in geriatric otolaryngology through:
(1) The provision of a specific curriculum for otolaryngology residents in the geriatric aspects of the specialty through the formation of a geriatric instructional module, which will become a permanent component of the curriculum. The curriculum will be co-taught by members of the geriatric and otolaryngology faculty.
(2) Integration of the geriatric curriculum as an ongoing required annual instructional course.
