For a limited time, I am offering this MUST-HAVE companion course to my ebook!
Introducing my 2-in-1 combination course
Medication Safety For The Elderly And Their Caregivers And Comprehensive Management Of Dementia
NEVER has there been a course like this created just for the elderly and their caregivers!
In this course, I take the principles and concepts you will learn in your eBook and deep-dive into them, peeling away the complexities and fancy medical terms, and make it all completely understandable and practical.
Every single lesson and document in this mega-course has been painstakingly created just for you, based on my years of direct clinical observation and practice, listening to and responding to my patients’ pain points and problems, and resolving those very same problems quickly and safely.
You will have the knowledge to identify possible medication-related adverse effects in your loved one, and armed with this information, advocate for your loved one with their doctor!
You will throw over-the-counter drugs that you most likely have in your medicine cabinet RIGHT NOW into the trash immediately after completing the course
You will benefit and learn from my years of collective clinical experience, honed from serving thousands of patients, teaching countless doctors, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, dentists, nurses, pharmacists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, social workers, etc
And…SO much more…
Teresa A. Colvin MD, PhD ABIM Certified Geriatrician Buffalo, NY
Dr. Nathan’s eCourse on medication management and dementia empowers patients and their families to have educated and open discussions with their providers. You can think of it as a mini crash course in the basics of geriatric medicine.
Dr. Nathan breaks down each topic into short segments that are approachable, yet still grounded in the latest evidence-based research and current medical practice guidelines, without being too overwhelming.
The video presentations are very well done and easy to follow. Dr. Nathan has done an outstanding job making information accessible to patients and their caregivers.
As a provider, having patients and family members on the same page is incredibly helpful when faced with sorting out conflicting medical problems, specialist recommendations, and medications with multiple cross interactions.
I would highly recommend the book and eCourse to those seeking a better understanding of the medical issues commonly faced by older adults and who wish to build a more fruitful relationship with their medical providers.
