The overall aim of the course is to alert the Caribbean Health Services community to the growing needs and medical problems of an increasing number of persons living beyond 65 years. The focus of the course will be to discuss the physiology of the aging process. This will lead to an appreciation of the atypical presentations of the elderly patients so that they will be referred to hospital in an appropriate time frame.
