INTRODUCTION The McGill University Division of Geriatric Medicine of the Department of Medicine is comprised of faculty from the Divisions of Geriatric Medicine of the Jewish General Hospital (JGH), the McGill University Health Centre (MUHC), and St. Mary's Hospital. Faculty from the Department of Family Medicine play a key role in the Division. There are links with the Division of Geriatric Psychiatry of the Department of Psychiatry. Faculty from Epidemiology, molecular and cell biology and Neurology with an active and significant interest in aging research and who have been involved in research with division members are integrated in the division. Investigators from other departments continue to show interest and have requested joining the Division. There is ongoing and close collaboration for clinical work, teaching and research with nursing, physiotherapy, occupational therapy and social work. There is significant collaboration with our colleagues from the Université de Montréal as well as other Quebec and Canadian Universities in areas of research and program development. International collaboration has also considerably developed. The Division Executive now includes Drs. Allen Huang (MUHC Division Director), Howard Chertkow, Ruby Friedman, Robert Bailey, Susan Gold and Christina Wolfson, reflecting our research, teaching and clinical objectives. The Executive has met regularly in the past year and various committees function in a regular and active manner. (See Appendix I for Committee Work) 1. RESEARCH AND PUBLICATIONS 1.1 Research activity Please see Appendix II for the list of research projects, Appendix III for publications, book chapters and abstracts, Appendix IV for lectures, Appendix V for honors and awards, Appendix VI for graduate students. Research in neurobiology and dementia, informatics, health services, frailty, pharmacoepidemiology, nutrition, bone, rehabilitation, long term care and education continue to represent the existing strengths of the Division with programs that cross hospital, department and university lines and in some cases integrate bench to bedside to population. Geriatric/Oncology, Geriatric Cardiology as well as end of life care are emerging interests. There is increasing collaboration with colleagues from Quebec, Canada and internationally. In the past year, members of our Division lead major research programs with funding from the Canadian Institutes on Health Research (CIHR), the FRSQ, the Canadian Foundation for Innovation (CFI) and Valorisation Recherche Québec (VRQ). These major research teams bring together investigators from Quebec, Canada and internationally. Dr. Allen Huang, with Robyn Tamblyn’s group on projet IRIS-Quebec & Cyber-Santé; Dr. Howard Chertkow and other colleagues from our McGill Division and colleagues from the Université de Montréal on Cognitive Impairment in the Elderly; Drs. Howard Bergman and François Béland, co-directors of Solidage: McGill/Université de Montréal Research Group on Integrated Services for the Elderly on The Challenge of Understanding and Meeting the Needs of the Frail Elderly in the Canadian Health Care System. Other members of our Division actively involved include: Johanne Monette, Christina Wolfson, and Wendy Chiu. Johanne Monette continues to develop a Collaborative Research Network in Long-Term Care. Dr. Howard Bergman with Christina
Wolfson and François Béland with funding from the Max Bell Foundation, the FRSQ, the Institute of Aging of the CIHR and other Canadian and European groups lead the Canadian Initiative on Frailty and Aging. Dr. José Morais, along with several other investigators from Quebec received major funding from CIHR for a 5 year Longitudinal Study on Nutrition and Healthy Aging. Drs. Wendy Chiu and Johanne Monette are key players in setting up the Geriatric/Oncology interest group with the objective of developing a research, teaching and clinical program. A geriatrician/oncologist from the Université de la Méditerranée in Marseille and an oncologist from the Institut Curie will be joining our Division in the coming year as research fellows. As well, Doreen Wan-Chow-Wah, our geriatric fellow, is planning to do a fellowship in Oncology. Because of these strengths, the Division has played an important role in the FRSQ Quebec Research Network on Aging (Réseau Québécois de recherche sur le vieillissement). Howard Bergman is named Director, José Morais is on the executive and other members are either coordinators or present in all themes. Dr. Bergman was named Chair of the Advisory Board of the Institute of Aging. Drs. José Morais and Gustavo Duque held in the past year chercheur/clinician awards. Dr. Duque won the Young Investigator Award from the Gerontological Society of America. 1.2 Research Day This year our McGill Division held its 10th Annual Research Day in collaboration with the 4th Annual Research Day of the Réseau Québécois de recherche sur le vieillissement and in collaboration with the Centre de recherche de l’institut universitaire de gériatrie de Montréal. Please see Appendix VII for the Annual Research Day Program. Suffice to say that there were 25 oral presentations and 43 poster presentations. Two $750 prizes were awarded by a jury of faculty members:
• Ayanna Roberts (Interactive case design: teaching basic hospital skills to 2nd year medical students) for best oral presentation in social/health/medical education research
• Linda Lévesque (Does the addition of functional status indicators to case-mix adjustment indices improve prediction of hospitalization, institutionalization and death among Canadian elderly) for best oral presentation in social/health/medical education research respectively.
Two $300 prizes were awarded:
• Keira Robinson (Evaluating the Feasibility and the Process of Assessing Capacity to Consent in a Population-Based Research Study) for best poster presentation in clinical/epidemiological research
• Jules Widler (Exercise and Nutrition in Older Women: Towards Healthier Lifestyles) for the best poster presentation in social/health/medical education research.
Approximately 80 people attended the Research Day and an abstract book was distributed.
1.3 Travel grant For the 9th year, the Division’s Executive distributed several travel grants to several residents and postgraduate students. 2. EDUCATION 2.1 Joint Education/Training Committee Undergraduate medical students: We are now completing the third year of the Geriatric Medicine Clerkship for all medical students (third and fourth year). Geriatric Medicine faculty is also involved in teaching two modules in I.T.P. as well as the integrated course in the first year. Dr. Gustavo Duque, with the collaboration of Dr. Susan Gold and the support of his committee including Drs. Catherine Ferrier, Paul Heilpern, and Michael Bonney Castle, lead the Clerkship Curriculum with innovative web-based methods for teaching and evaluation. Ayanna Roberts was the coordinator. This has been and continues to be a tremendous challenge for our Division, which teaches 12 medical students every month. The number of students continues to rise each year (see Appendix VIII for summary of report). We are expecting changes in the coming year resulting in all fourth year students doing the 1 month Clerkship but over a period of 7 months, resulting in significant increase in the number of students per month. The student evaluations have been very good to excellent. This is a testimony to the hard work and dedication of all the teachers in our Division. We are examining the curriculum on Aging in first and second year as well. As well, this work has generated a certain number of publications and presentations. Dr. Gustavo Duque won best poster presentation: Canadian Association of Faculties of Medicine/Canadian Medical Association annual meeting, Saskatoon. Medical residents: All medical residents as well as neurology and emergency medicine residents have a one-month rotation in Geriatric Medicine in their first year. Dr. Wendy Chiu is responsible for this program. There is ongoing dialog with the McGill Care Medicine program director. Family medicine residents: All family medicine residents, as well, do one month of Geriatric Medicine. Geriatric Medicine Specialty Training Program: Dr. Yves Bacher has recently stepped down as the Program Director. Dr. José Morais was named the new Program Director. Dr. Doreen Wan Chow Wah began her fellowship in January 2005. She was also the Chief Medical resident at the Royal Victoria Hospital. Health care for the Elderly Training Program: In the past eight years we have trained 15 fellows. Dr. Najmi Nazerali is the Director, and Dr. Sylvia Windholz is the Associate Director
of this program. We presently have 3 trainees: 2 from the McGill Family Medicine Program, Dr. Miriam Abdelnour and Dr. Nicola Toma; and 1 from the University of Toronto, Dr. Joyce Lee. Clinical/Research Fellows: Dr. Manuel Montero, a geriatrician from Argentina, is completing his second year as a McGill clinical research fellow and focusing on mobility and gait speed. He received the Maimonides Geriatric Hospital/Jewish General Hospital/McGill University fellowship. Dr. Chek Wong, a geriatrician from Singapore, is completing an 8 month research fellowship based in the Solidage Research Group and focusing on frailty. Dr. Frédérique Retornaz, from the Université de la Méditerranée from Marseille, was trained as both a geriatrician and an oncologist will be beginning a 1 year research fellowship in Geriatric/Oncology. As well, Dr. Veronique Girre, an oncologist based at the Institut Curie in Paris has applied to do a research fellowship in Geriatric/Oncology beginning in June 2006. Research projects completed under the McGill Summer Student Research Bursary included a comparison of changes in MoCA and MMSE in MCI patients followed at the Memory Clinic with complaints of cognitive decline, and correlation of orthostatic hypotension and fear of falling in patients followed at the Geriatric Clinic. Supervising staff included Drs. Johanne Monette, Susan Gold and Manuel Montero. A research project on the role of lamins during mesenchymal stem differentiation was pursued at Dr. Duque’s laboratory by Yi Xing, a dental student at McGill University. She received a CIHR Health Professional Student Research Award to develop a small project both identifying the role of lamins in a normal model of differentiation and also looking at the effect that lamin inhibition n may have in this model. 2.2 Post-Graduate Courses Dr. Gustavo Duque teaches courses in biology of aging. Dr. Christina Wolfson gives a course on epidemiology of aging in the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, while Dr. Nancy Mayo gives a course in methodology to graduate physiotherapy and occupational therapy students. Division members have given lectures in courses in other faculties and universities. 2.3 Education Activities with other McGill Schools and Departments Our Division participated in teaching in the McGill School of PT and OT and the School of Dietetics and Human Nutrition. 2.4 Rounds a) McGill University Geriatric Medicine Grand Rounds In October 1994 the Division inaugurated the McGill University Geriatric Medicine Grand Rounds. We have now completed our 11th year (see the full program in Appendix IX). Seven speakers including four local speakers and three visiting professors were part of this year's
program. The visiting professors spent two days at McGill giving the Geriatric Medicine Grand Rounds, a Medical Grand Round in one of the three teaching hospitals, as well as meetings with McGill scientists, graduate students and post-doc and residents interested in a particular field. This year we began a new tradition. All the trainees, fellows, residents and medical students interacted with the Grand Round speaker around a case presentation. b) McGill University Interdisciplinary Rounds The McGill University Interdisciplinary Seminars has now completed its second year of operation in its revised format. The first seminar was held on September 19, 2003, and entitled “Promoting Partnership through Protocols: Intervention Strategies for Dementia Care. It was well-attended (about 130 participants) and received excellent feedback. The present committee is comprised of representatives from various facilities in the McGill teaching network, including hospitals, rehab centers, CLSC's, and long-term care institutions. Its second annual seminar was held on Sept. 10, 2004, and was entitled “Driven to Distraction: Ethical Dilemmas in Geriatric Care”. Featured topics and speakers included Driving Ability, presented by Mme Isabelle Gelinas, erg./PhD from McGill University, Competency presented by M. Daniel Geneau, and Lucia Fabijan from the JGH presented Complex Family Dynamics. In addition to the formal lectures, poster presentations and resource kiosks were featured, providing increased opportunity for networking. This year’s seminar to be held in September 2005 will focus on Mental Health. I want to express my appreciation to Caryn Nash for her work as committee Chair. Caryn has been replaced by Judy Bianco. Committee members include health care professionals from Acute Care, Long term care and community settings. c) Hospital Division Rounds The hospitals Division organize rounds as well. The MUHC has weekly joint rounds with local and visiting speakers and the JGH has regular Journal Club. Both Divisions hold regular presentations by residents. St. Mary’s holds rounds and journal clubs as well. The Jewish General Hospital/McGill Memory Clinic holds Research Rounds. 2.5 Continuing Medical Education In March 2004, Paul Lysy with Yves Bacher and Susan Vaitekunas organized a very successful McGill Geriatric two-day CME course with approximately 70 participants (held every two years). Paul Lysy stepped down as Committee Chair and I want to express my sincere appreciation for his dedicated and excellent work. Paul, Susan Vaitekunas and David Lussier are on the committee chaired by Dr. Gary Inglis. With the help and encouragement of Dr. Michael D. Rosengarten of McGill Continuing Medical Education, Geriatric Medicine now has a section on the Continuing Medical Education website (http://www.med.mcgill.ca/~cme/html/cmevidOd.html) where lectures in particular from the Geriatric Medicine Grand Rounds series, as well as other lectures given by members of our Division or others on geriatric topics can be viewed directly as web casting. Members of the Division actively participated in various activities of continuing medical education including the Thursday evening lecture series.
3. CLINICAL ACTIVITIES The organization of clinical activities is under the responsibility of each of the hospital Divisions of geriatric medicine at the MUHC (Montreal General and RVH sites) (Dr. Allen Huang), Jewish General Hospital (Dr. Ruby Friedman), and St. Mary’s (Dr. Robert Bailey). There has been some sharing of resources in the past and this will likely continue to grow. As well, there have been agreements on the development of tertiary care activities. Finally, recruitment is done as a joint activity of the University and each of the hospital Divisions. In the McGill hospitals (MUHC, JGH, St. Mary’s) there are a total of over 100 acute geriatric beds and the Divisions assume the responsibility for approximately 188 long-term care beds situated within the hospitals. All the Divisions run active consultation services in the Emergency Room as well as on the medical, surgical and psychiatric wards. In the last year there were approximately 3500 consultations (not counting follow-up visits) done in the emergency room and on the wards. As well, there are outpatient geriatric clinics in each of the sites, as well as a Geriatric Day Hospital at the MUHC/RVH site. There is a tertiary care Memory Clinic at the JGH and an Incontinence Clinic at the MUHC/MGH site as well as a Competency Clinic at the MUHC/MGH site. Each of the sites is actively involved in other community outreach programs with the CLSC home care services and community intermediate resources. Geriatricians and other members of the multidisciplinary team participate actively in program planning and management for services of the elderly in each of the hospitals as well as with the CLSCs, the Regional Board and the Ministry. 4. NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL ACTIVITIES This year, Dr. Yves Bacher was elected President of the Societé Québécois de gériatrie and Dr. Howard Bergman President of the Canadian Geriatrics Society. The work on the international scene continues to develop. Members of the Division continue to be invited as speakers, often in major plenary sessions, in many and varied international scientific meetings and forums. This has led to international collaboration in research endeavors in Europe, United States, Latin America and Israel. Members of the Division have been named to boards of international peer-reviewed journals. As indicated above, international clinical and research fellows are an important part of our program. Members of the Division are actively involved in American Geriatrics Society International Special Interest Group. 5. WEBSITE Thanks to the work of Shek Fung with the help of Allen Huang, Gustavo Duque and Carol Novoseller, our website (http://www.med.mcgill.ca/geriatrics/) is an active instrument. It is becoming an important point of communication for those interested in finding out about what our Division does or communicating our monthly Calendar of Events and for announcing various rounds, etc., as well as an instrument for the teaching of medical students and residents.
6. CONCLUSION There is no doubt that the McGill Division of Geriatric Medicine has developed considerably in the area of education as well as research and publications. With the scope or our clinical responsibilities, the depth and variety of the education activities, in particular now with the Clerkship, the importance of the research programs in terms of the amount of peer-reviewed and industry funding, as well as publications, our Division is perhaps the most complete in the country and makes important contributions to the field of Geriatric Medicine and Aging. It is a testimony to the work of the members of our faculty. There are several important challenges in the upcoming year. Teaching The coming year will be both exciting and challenging from a teaching point of view. We will continue to have our full load of clerks with slightly increased numbers. This program continues to be stimulating for our faculty but also represents a significant load. This coming year we have, as well, a significant number of fellows: 1 R4/R5 Geriatric Medicine Specialty fellow and 3 Family Medicine Care for the Elderly R3 fellows. As well, we continue to have the clinical research fellows that I mentioned above. Clinical The development of the RUIS (Réseau Universitaire intégré de services) represents an extremely important challenge for us. Up until now, our hospital divisions have worked independently but with the RUIS we will now have to rethink the configuration of our services and our relationship with our clinical partners. These partners include the 2 CSSS (Cavendish and Métro/Côte des Neiges/Park Extension), which represent a population of approximately 350,000 people, calculating approximately 18% over 65. This represents close to 65,000 older persons. We have a responsibility as a secondary tertiary care center for those 2 CSSS. As well, we have responsibilities to other CSSS on the island, particularly the West Island CSSS, which includes the Lakeshore General Hospital. We have already been solicited to work with the Lakeshore General in order to consult and advise on the development of their program for older persons. Finally, we have the responsibilities toward the outlined regions, including l’Outaouais and Abitibi; for example, the l’Outaouais region has already invited us to consult and advise them on the development of their geriatric programs. Research We will need to continue to recruit and train new investigators involved in strategic research programs in development at the FRSQ and CIHR. There are important opportunities for important linkage among our research programs; for example, Oncology, Cardiology, Frailty, Nutrition and bone, etc.
Recruitment As with other university divisions in the Department of Medicine, this is an interesting challenge. We have increasing teaching and research demands, with ever increasing clinical demands not only within our hospitals but also our responsibility within the RUIS. We need to continue to identify opportunities for recruitment within the restrictions of the medical manpower numbers that have been allocated to us. Acknowledgements Geriatric Medicine continues to receive constant support from both the Dean of Medicine, Abe Fuks and the Chair of Medicine, Dr. David Eidelman. I would like to, again, express my special appreciation to Dr. Robert Levine of the Kaufmann Foundation and Ms. Anita David of the Gustav Levinschi Foundation who continue to be a source of counsel and advice for our Division. They have constantly supported innovative clinical work and research in our hospital Division. I would like to express my appreciation to Carol Novoseller who is instrumental in the organization of the McGill Geriatric Medicine Grand Rounds, the McGill Interdisciplinary Geriatric Seminar and the McGill CME program and who assures the administration base for our Division, to Elizabeth Iacono, Enza Volpe and Renée Kaminski for secretarial and organization support in all our division activities. I would also like to thank Ayanna Roberts who has stepped down as coordinator of our teaching program to continue her post graduate studies.

Clerkship in Geriatric Medicine
Annual Report – Executive Summary 2004-2005
McGill University
Susan Gold, MD – Gustavo Duque, MD, PhD Coordinators – Undergraduate Medical Education Ayanna Roberts Student Affairs and Administrative Coordinator – Undergraduate Medical Education McGill Division of Geriatric Medicine August 27, 2004
Executive Summary This executive summary features highlights of the Annual Report of the Clerkship for Geriatric Medicine. The full report contains important detailed information about new developments related to the Clerkship and data about student knowledge in and attitudes towards Geriatric Medicine. Please direct any inquiries to [email protected]. To download the full report, please visit www.med.mcgill.ca/geriatrics/education/clerkship/AnnualReport/AnnualReport.htm.
Introduction to Geriatric Medicine Dr. Wendy Chiu, MD.CM, FRCPC and Dr. Gustavo Duque, MD, PhD are developing the “Introduction to Geriatric Medicine” course to be given on September 13th and 14th, 2004 as a part of the Introduction to Hospital Practice unit preparing medical school students for the Practice of Medicine.
The course is being developed in conjunction with Ayanna Roberts, the Student Affairs and Administrative Coordinator for the Clerkship in Geriatric Medicine and the McGill Molson Medical Informatics Project, who are responsible for the development of computer enhanced learning and teaching methodologies.
The course will feature a flash presentation delivered by Dr. Chiu, a web-based practice case for students authored by Dr. Duque, and a webpage portal for students: http://www.med.mcgill.ca/geriatrics/education/Clerkship/IntroPOM/IntroPOM.htm.
Attitudes Survey A new attitudes survey was implemented in the Winter 2004 semester. This new survey is a validated survey designed by Timothy J. Wilkinson, Associate Dean of Undergraduate Medical Education, University of Otago, Christchurch School of Medicine & Health Sciences1. It collects a wealth of data concerning student attitudes towards aging in general and Geriatric Medicine as a specific discipline. A discussion and presentation of results related to the Attitudes Survey can be found in Section 2.
New Webpage for the McGill Electronic Evaluation Portfolio (MEEP©) A new webpage (http://www.med.mcgill.ca/geriatrics/education/Clerkship/MEEP/MEEP.htm) was created to support student and staff questions about the McGill Electronic Evaluation Portfolio (MEEP©). The new webpage features detailed explanations of the evaluation categories, information about how to complete and evaluate the portfolio and a sample student portfolio.
Gauging Interest in Geriatric Medicine We are in the process of gathering information from students interested in a career in Geriatric Medicine so as to support their aspirations throughout their academic careers and beyond. In the Attitudes Survey and Final Survey, students now have the option of entering their email address if they are interested in a career in Geriatric Medicine. We will forward those email addresses for inclusion in the Geriatrics listserv and to the Coordinator of Teaching Programs, Dr. Susan

Gold, for consideration. A program of mentorship is being implemented for these and future students.
Institutional Interest in McGill’s Clerkship in Geriatric Medicine We have been invited to present our clerkship to several different academic institutions.
• Quebec City –l’Université Laval (Education Retreat)
• Montreal – Division of Geriatric Medicine, l’Université de Montreal
• Montreal –Centre for Medical Education, McGill University (Medical Education Grand Rounds)
• New York – Division of Geriatric Medicine, Mount Sinai School of Medicine
We continue to receive inquiries about the McGill Electronic Evaluation Portfolio from within McGill, both from other clerkships and most notably the Faculty of Dentistry, with whom we are exploring collaborative development opportunities.
How They Came: Attitudes Survey In the Winter 2004 semester, we implemented a new Attitudes Survey2 allowing us to more comprehensively assess student attitudes and knowledge with respect to Aging and Geriatrics. The data collected from the Attitudes Survey and a copy of the Attitudes Survey can be found in Appendix A of the full report. An example of the data collected is presented below:

2 Original survey design by Timothy J. Wilkinson, Associate Dean of Undergraduate Medical Education, University of Otago, Christchurch School of Medicine & Health Sciences.
How They Left: Final Survey At the end of the rotation, students complete a Final Survey designed to assess the students’ progress in their knowledge and attitudes towards Aging and Geriatrics following a month of exposure to Geriatric Medicine as well as to assess the success of each element of the rotation as perceived by the students. The complete data and charts are presented in the Full report.
Clinical Experience and Teaching The number of students who rated their tutors Very Good or Excellent increased in 2003-2004. Furthermore, a greater percentage of students felt the clinical work and activities were academically challenging. This data shows that the Geriatric Medicine clerkship continues to be an academically robust rotation.
Multidisciplinary Team Experience A focus of this rotation is a strong multidisciplinary team experience. Students continued to perceive sufficient contact with the team and a greater percentage felt they had greater contact with the community in 2003-2004.
Electronic Portfolio The MEEP© continues to be accepted and validated as a new method of evaluation. Dr. Duque was awarded the 2004 John Ruedy Award for Innovation in Medical Education by the ACMC for the design and implementation of the MEEP©. We recently assessed the reliability of the MEEP©, the results of which can be found in Section 4.
The addition of the orientation session for all students and the MEEP© website provided more support for students using the portfolio. This may account for the increasing acceptance of this new and unfamiliar evaluation method by students. This year, we see a shift in all “curves” from strongly disagree to strongly agree. We expect to see this trend continue as the general student population becomes more familiar with the portfolio in this and potentially other rotations.
WebCT Modules As in 2002-2003, students continued to express their comfort with using WebCT. We also see a slight shift on the scale towards strongly disagree when students were asked whether the modules and pre/post-tests were useful and instructional. Furthermore, the number of the students who felt the modules were academically challenging remained positively stable.
This year we received numerous strong comments in support of WebCT. Major suggestions include adding new lectures and adding forward/rewind buttons to the Flash presentations.
Attitudes towards Aging and Geriatric Medicine One of the goals of the Geriatrics rotation is to emphasize the basis of Geriatric Medicine and the differences in medical care for older patients. Cumulative in this goal is to positively educate and affect student attitudes towards aging and Geriatrics. This year we see a greater number of students declaring their openness to Geriatric Medicine as a subspecialty and who are willing to devote some of their future training to Geriatrics, including becoming a geriatrician. Student comments showed an appreciation for Geriatric Medicine as a unique subspecialty with a different and interesting approach to medicine.
Overall Impressions of the Clerkship Student comments showed an appreciation for Geriatric Medicine as a unique subspecialty with a different and interesting approach to medicine. Again, there was a distinct trend showing a shift away from strongly disagree and towards strongly agree in the ratings scale for all categories. Most notably, there was marked improvement in student understanding of the evaluation system. Overall, students rated the Geriatric Medicine clerkship a success.
Evaluation & Reliability Data and Publications We recently assessed the reliability of the MEEP© for a forthcoming publication submitted to the journal Academic Medicine titled “Learning while evaluating: a successful model of the use of electronic evaluation portfolios in clinical settings.” The text of the abstract, featuring the results, can be found in the full report.
In addition to the paper referenced above, four abstracts were submitted to different academic conferences: two to the 2004 Annual Meeting of the American Geriatrics Society, one to the CAPTIC Conference – Université Laval and one to the meeting of the Association of Canadian Medical Colleges (ACMC).
Special Thanks We would like to thank all the members of the Geriatric Medicine clerkship team for their hard work in making the 2003-2004 clerkship a success, including:
• The Division of Geriatric Medicine
• The Faculty of Medicine
