Geriatric Medicine is a specialized branch of medicine focused on the healthcare of elderly individuals, typically aged 60 years and above. With increasing life expectancy—especially in countries like India—the proportion of the aging population is rising, leading to a higher burden of chronic diseases, disability, and functional decline. Older adults commonly suffer from multiple conditions such as Dementia, Osteoporosis, and Hypertension, often requiring comprehensive, multidisciplinary, and long-term care. A PG Diploma in Geriatric Medicine (12 months) is designed to train clinicians in the assessment, prevention, and management of health problems in the elderly, with emphasis on holistic care, rehabilitation, and quality of life improvement.
