Learning outcomes of the learning unit
The objective of this course is to provide the student with the necessary elements to enable him to undertake a well thought out preventive and therapeutic approach in the elderly. The student will need to use the recent scientific data which he will have to adjust to the various issues in the elderly. The student will also have to assess in a critical way the scientific studies results encountered during his professional life. At last, a reflexive approach concerning the multidisciplinary re-education in the elderly will be analysed.
