Interdisciplinary Geriatric Emergency Management Workshop

Training Overview

Interdisciplinary Geriatric Emergency Management Workshop is a comprehensive, simulation-based training program designed for emergency physicians, geriatricians, intensivists, internists, family physicians, surgeons, nurses, and interdisciplinary teams seeking expertise in rapid geriatric emergency assessment and stabilization. This two-day course integrates structured theoretical modules with high-fidelity simulation scenarios, emphasizing early risk recognition, evidence-based acute management, team coordination, and optimized decision-making in time-sensitive geriatric crises.

The program begins with foundational modules on geriatric emergency physiology, atypical disease presentations, cognitive–functional interactions in acute illness, geriatric trauma principles, delirium and acute confusion pathways, medication-related emergencies, and early sepsis indicators in older adults. Participants explore essential tools such as frailty scoring in acute care, fall-risk mechanisms, geriatric triage criteria, polypharmacy risk evaluation, and functional vulnerability assessment during emergency presentations.

Hands-on simulation sessions enable participants to manage complete geriatric emergency scenarios using high-fidelity simulators and rapid-assessment tools. Under expert guidance, attendees practice acute deterioration recognition, delirium management, trauma assessment, sepsis resuscitation strategies, safe mobilization in emergency settings, high-risk medication review, and crisis-based decision-making for fragile patients.

Through interactive video cases, scenario-based discussions, and structured faculty debriefings, participants analyze real-world geriatric emergencies while refining high-stakes decision-making skills for triage, stabilization, interdisciplinary coordination, escalation planning, and safe transitions of care. Continuous performance feedback enhances clinical reasoning, communication precision, patient-handling safety, and confidence in managing complex geriatric crises.

By the end of the program, attendees will have developed advanced emergency assessment skills, interdisciplinary response capabilities, and the clinical confidence required to manage acute geriatric emergencies across diverse care environments.
