Careers in Geriatric Psychiatry
Geriatric psychiatry is on the cutting edge of the revolution in the biomedical sciences. It offers rich opportunities for research in geriatric mood disorders, dementia, delirium, anxiety disorders, late-life psychotic disorders, and health services. Approaches range from studying the implementation of psychosocial therapies to translational biomedical research studying genetic and biochemical factors associated with geriatric mood disorders.
