Abstract: 

The Hartford Institute for Geriatric Nursing (HIGN) at NYU Rory Meyers College of Nursing offers a number of evidence-based online resources for nurse educators, nursing students, and professionals. Many of these resources area available through our clinical resource page, known as ConsultGeri, which is accessible through HIGN’s website. Resources are available for purchase by logging in to our eLearning portal. A number of HIGN’s resources provide continuing education credits for professionals. 

For more information, please visit http://www.hign.org.

Educational objectives: 
  1. Provide evidence-based online resources for nurse educators, nursing students, and professionals.
  2. Provide educational resources on various geriatric topics (such as dementia, chronic disease management, and presentation of illness in older adults) that apply acute care, long-term care, and home settings.
  3. Provide assessment tools for professionals, such as the Try This: Series.

Abstract: 

The VirginiaGeriatrics.Org website consists of 6 primary resources and a secondary list of resources for further research. These primary resources include a video archive of the geriatric grand round lecture series, interactive pre-clinical basic science geriatric case studies for medical students, more advanced geriatric case studies for clinical residents, a quick consult guide for geriatric consults, an "ask the expert" discussion resource, and various educational materials related to the Virginia Geriatrics Society Conference. Additionally, spread through the website are external educational resources to complement the core material. Finally, there are some resources for patients and families that may be interested in contacting clinics and/or geriatricians.

Educational objectives: 

Listed through 6 primary education sections (Grand Rounds, Med Student Materials, Resident Materials, Quick Consults, Ask the Expert, etc)

Abstract: 

This module demonstrates the normal age-related changes in the urinary system and its clinical implications. A highlight of these modules are side by side comparison of young and aged tissues with interactive slides and summary drawings which reinforce the main points on the histology slides. The curriculum is appealing to clinical learners as it is anchored in showing clinically relevant changes and the implications of these changes in older patients. The main audience is the pre-clinical first or second year medical student, but these could be used by other trainees to teach the basic science of aging.

Educational objectives: 

Learning Objectives for Urinary System module:

Identify the major aging associated changes in each of the following and describe the clinical implications of these changes on the:

  1. Kidney
  2. Ureter
  3. Urethra - female
  4. Nerves
  5. Urethra - male

Abstract: 

The UT Southwestern SAGE Urinary Incontinence module is a comprehensive core curriculum on UI in the elderly which can be incorporated into existing UME courses at both the pre-clinical and clinical levels. After completion of the program, medical students will have been trained in the basic evaluation and treatment of UI in the elderly. The program and learning platforms are created in sequential modules so that components can be utilized in different courses (anatomy, physiology, pharmacology) and for different levels of learners (clinical cases for 3rd and 4th year students). Modules also lend themselves to be utilized as clinical correlations in basic science courses.

Educational objectives: 

After completion of the UI modules, learners will be able to:

  • Describe the anatomy and physiology of the continence mechanism.
  • Discuss the age-related changes in the anatomy and physiology of the lower urinary tract (LUT) which increase the risk of UI.
  • Evaluate and diagnose the cause of a patient's urinary incontinence.
  • Create a treatment and management plan for a patient with urinary incontinence.
  • Describe how medications can cause UI and also understand complications from medications used to treat UI.
