Geriatric Medicine: Clinical Case-Based Board Review 2026 Extensive Clinical Case Analyses with Step-by-Step Explanations and Age-Specific Interpretive Guidance This case-based review guide is designed for geriatric medicine fellows, internists, and primary care clinicians seeking practical mastery of geriatric care through applied clinical reasoning. Featuring 450+ exam-style clinical cases , the book emphasizes diagnostic strategy, functional assessment interpretation, and evidence-based decision-making across modern geriatric medicine. Each chapter is structured around realistic patient scenarios similar to those encountered on ABIM Geriatric Medicine certification examinations. Readers are guided step by step through atypical presentations, multimorbidity analysis, medication optimization, and goals-of-care determination—building confidence for both exam performance and real-world application. Rather than focusing on isolated facts, this guide trains readers to evaluate geriatric patients systematically, recognize common pitfalls, and apply management standards used in contemporary age-friendly practice.
