Internal Medicine, General Medicine Conference-IPSC 2026

As populations age, internal medicine physicians are increasingly tasked with caring for geriatric syndromes. Frailty, dementia, and multimorbidity necessitate careful strategies to maintain patient independence and quality of life.

Internists reconcile the management of polypharmacy, prevention of falls, and cognitive function with individualized care plans. They coordinate long-term and community-based support with families and caregivers as well. This holistic strategy promotes healthy aging and minimizes hospitalizations in older patients.
