This year, we are excited to bring you the 33rd Clinical Update in Geriatric Medicine in a virtual format. Our Course Directors and the Conference Planning team have created a program that will deliver a practical as well as an evidence-based approach. This year’s conference also includes Q&A sessions, vendor halls, and opportunities to engage in conversations with speakers, exhibitors, and fellow attendees. In 2025, we want to highlight our new format that will drive the lectures and conversations: Fostering Age-Friendly Care through the 5Ms: Mentation, Medication, Mobility, What Matters Most, Multicomplexity. In each of these categories, speakers will deliver pragmatic, relevant clinical pearls for a broad range of topics facing clinicians who care for older adults, with the opportunity for interactive Q/A. Speakers handpicked by a multidisciplinary committee of clinicians from academics, practice, and the payer community. Selection was based on two criteria:
