Description of CME Course

Research has shown that there is a strong link between ageism, in the form of negative stereotypes, prejudice and discrimination, combined with power imbalances, and risks for one’s physical and mental health. Ageism can be implicit, intersect with structures marginalizing other identities, and exist at multiple levels, from the individual to the institutional or societal. This session will examine how ageism developed as a concept and is expressed in health care today, the disparate impacts on older physicians and patients, and what strategies health care professionals might use to address ageism in the health care system at different levels, in the pursuit of optimal health and health work for older people.
