This episode I tell you the story of how I became a geriatrician and a couple who inspired me during my training. I use their example to talk about the 5M's of geriatrics: Mind, Mobility, Medications, Multi-complexity, and Matters Most. I also touch upon a reason why I think there are too few geriatricians. 

More info about 5M's: https://www.healthinaging.org/tools-and-tips/tip-sheet-5ms-geriatrics. 

Where to find age-friendly health systems that put the 5M's into practice: http://www.ihi.org/Engage/Initiatives/Age-Friendly-Health-Systems/Pages/default.aspx
