Introduction of a new Special Section of AJGP: “Clinical Wisdom in Geriatric Psychiatry”

Life-long learning is integral to a successful and satisfying career in medicine, psychology, and clinical social sciences. Ongoing learning, personal reflection, and iterative refinement of our clinical, communication, leadership, and interpersonal skills make us better healers. Yet it takes time for a clinician to understand the human condition and implement their own life experiences and wisdom into clinical care. Indeed, every clinical encounter, every teaching moment, and every interaction with our families, colleagues, and staff, when reflected upon, can improve our practice of caring for the mental health of older adults.
