The CRIT program

provides case-based training in geriatric principles to chief residents. Developed at Boston University/Boston Medical Center, the CRIT program is entering its 10th year and has been replicated at 29 institutions nationwide. Chief residents completing CRIT gain awareness of geriatric matters, enhance knowledge about specific syn-dromes and practices related to geriatric medicine, strengthen leadership and teaching techniques and increase multidisciplinary approaches in the care of older adults. CRIT provides the opportunity for chief residents, program directors and geriatrics faculty to network with each other and lays the groundwork for multi- and interdisciplinary connections.

CRITChief Resident Immersion Training

In the Care of Older Adults

The CRIT retreat program includes an unfolding interactive case divided into three modules following a geriatric patient from presentation to the emergency department to hospital discharge. Each module includes evidence-based mini-lec-tures on topics in geriatrics, small group interac-tive exercises and seminars designed to enhance teaching and leadership skills. Each chief resident and program director also attends two consultation sessions to develop an action plan for a project.

Social events are planned to foster relationships across specialties. Meals together, a cocktail hour and a constant changing of the participants in workgroups allows chief residents and program directors to get to know each other by name and connect in ways other than by brief moments of professional collaboration in the hospital.

Chief residents completing CRIT emerge with new knowledge and skills in the care of older adults, increased ability to teach about geriatrics and improved leadership techniques required in their new roles. CRIT reinforces the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration in caring for older adults.

“Both in terms of clinical knowledge and systems approaches to teaching and changing care of the elderly, my CRIT experience was critical to my

professional development this year.”

“CRIT was a wonderful experience. Not only was the education that

I received invaluable, but the networking opportunities that were created among the other specialties helped throughout

the year with difficult cases that were co-managed.”
