The internet offers a vital solution for geriatric education, addressing a significant gap in specialized training for healthcare providers caring for the growing elderly population. This study proposes an ideal website structure to enhance geriatric care knowledge.

Area of Science:

  • Geriatric Medicine
  • Medical Education Technology

Background:

  • The U.S. has a significant shortage of geriatric-certified physicians relative to the aging population.
  • The internet presents a scalable solution for healthcare provider education in geriatrics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review existing geriatric educational content on popular health websites.
  • To propose a framework for an ideal geriatric education website.
  • To develop a prototype resource for falls and gait instability.

Main Methods:

  • Conducted an internet search for "geriatrics" and "geriatric education" websites.
  • Reviewed content of popular health and medical websites for geriatric educational value.
  • Developed a proposed structure and framework for a dedicated geriatric website.

Main Results:

  • Numerous websites exist on geriatrics and geriatric education, varying in quality and focus.
  • A significant need exists for a structured, comprehensive online resource for geriatric training.
  • A prototype resource for falls and gait instability was conceptualized.

Conclusions:

  • A well-designed geriatric website can effectively bridge the educational gap for healthcare providers.
  • Such a platform can improve the quality of care for older adults.
  • A standardized framework is crucial for developing effective online geriatric education resources.
