Post Graduate Diploma Geriatric Medicine (PGDGM)

Post Graduate Diploma Geriatric Medicine (PGDGM) - The Geriatric Medicine (DGM) examination is designed to give recognition of competence in the provision of care of older people to general practitioner vocational trainees, clinical assistants and others working in non-consultant career posts in departments of geriatric medicine, and other doctors with interests in or responsibilities for the care of older people.The PG diploma offers doctors the opportunity to review and consider all aspects of the care of older people and to be recognised as having this knowledge, which is particularly important at a time when the proportion of very elderly people in the population is rising dramatically.
