Encouraging the Next Generation: Mentoring in Geriatrics

For the past several years, I have taught the Final Diagnosis and Management course to adult gerontology primary care nurse practitioner (AGPCNP) students. Last semester, we integrated into this course some geriatric content such as sarcopenia, screening and treatment of tuberculosis in institutional settings, and antibiotic stewardship — and, of course, we have added content on COVID-19. Several of the nurse practitioner students didn’t get any experience in a post-acute or long-term care setting until this spring because of the earlier student/trainee restrictions related to COVID-19.
