Abstract:
This article describes an ethics case conference on a multidisciplinary geropsychiatric service, and its unique clinical, training, and research benefits. We describe the structure of the conference, the major topics addressed, the perceived advantages, and the research implications. We conclude that the care of older patients, the education of students and trainees interested in aging issues, and cutting-edge geriatric research are all advanced by such a conference.
