Abstract: 

As a legacy of our geriatrics education project supported by the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation, we decided to make a short film about caring for elderly patients. We wanted real doctors and real old people. Recognizing we are all in this together, we also chose physicians from multiple medical and surgical subspecialties in addition to primary care physicians/geriatricians. None of it is scripted. Rather it is, as we intended, the good, the bad and the ugly, of caring for the aged.

Great introductory video to get students to think about these issues in a personal way.  I plan to use it during the first week of my geriatrics course to stimulate the conversation.  Thanks!
