Abstract: 

The Student-Senior Partnership Program aims to introduce first year medical students to the concepts of patient/doctor relationship, patient-centered communication, health literacy and shared decision-making. Students participate in 4 small group sessions each facilitated by a faculty leader. During these sessions, students observe and engage in patient/physician interactions, practice relationship building with their senior partner and develop lasting relationships with community seniors who in turn introduce students to broad concepts in aging. The program offers an extended track to those students wishing further experience in geriatric patient care.

Abstract: 

An OSCE examination was developed that evaluates assessment and evaluation of a geriatric patient suffering from urinary incontinence.  The OSCE allows for evaluation of communication and history taking skills as well as for a focused physical examination.   A voiding diary is reviewed with assessment of this diary completed.  A differential diagnosis must be given along with a detailed evaluation and treatment plan.  In addition, basic knowledge of bladder function and incontinence is assessed.

Educational objectives: 

 

1.      To evaluate the learner’s ability to effectively communicate with a geriatric patient and obtain a thorough history.

2.      To assess the learner’s ability to interpret a voiding diary.

3.      To assess the learner’s differential diagnosis regarding urinary incontinence.
