THE GERIATRIC HOME VISIT

This site was created to help residents learn more about home visits in a more structured and systemic way.  The ideas for this project were conjured during the Cheif Resident Immersion Training in 2011.  We hope that you enjoy reviewing these materials as much as we have enjoyed preparing them.
