Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment Simulation Workshop (CGA Masterclass)

Training Overview

Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) Simulation Workshop is an advanced, simulation-based training program designed for geriatricians, internists, family physicians, emergency clinicians, rehabilitation specialists, nurses, allied health professionals, and trainees seeking mastery in multidimensional geriatric assessment and integrated care planning. This two-day workshop combines structured theoretical instruction with high-fidelity CGA simulation encounters, emphasizing accurate evaluation, evidence-based intervention, and multidisciplinary decision-making in complex geriatric presentations.

The program begins with foundational modules on geriatric syndromes, multimorbidity pathways, functional and cognitive assessment frameworks, social–environmental determinants, medication complexity, and early indicators of decline. Participants explore essential CGA components including medical, functional, cognitive, psychological, nutritional, social, and environmental assessments supported by validated scoring tools.

Hands-on simulation sessions allow participants to conduct complete CGA encounters using realistic geriatric patient scenarios, functional evaluation devices, and standardized cognitive testing tools. Under expert guidance, attendees practice detailed patient interviews, frailty scoring, delirium and dementia screening, mobility and ADL assessments, caregiver evaluation, risk stratification, and creation of individualized care and rehabilitation plans.

Through interactive video cases, scenario-driven discussions, and faculty-led debriefings, participants analyze multidimensional geriatric profiles and refine decision-making for prioritization of care, comorbidity management, medication optimization, discharge planning, and community-based support integration. Structured performance feedback enhances clinical reasoning, communication strategies, and precision in applying CGA across diverse healthcare settings.

By the end of the program, participants will have developed advanced assessment skills, interdisciplinary care-planning expertise, and the clinical confidence required to deliver high-quality, person-centered geriatric care using the full CGA methodology.
