Nursing Home Patients

As part of the Geriatrics curriculum, 2nd and 3rd year residents make Nursing Home rounds followed by case discussion with a faculty member (Dr. Lord currently) at Delmar Gardens West at least three times yearly. In addition, residents on the inpatient Family Medicine service follow patients admitted to the St. John’s Skilled Nursing Facility. The residents are responsible for telephone and in-office management of any of their own patients currently in a nursing home.
