Acquire the most up-to-date knowledge in Rehabilitation Medicine in Geriatrics, with a Master's Degree that comprehensively compiles the approaches used in the field”  

Quality care in rehabilitation requires physicians to have the tools to treat elderly patients whose abilities are affected to some extent, not only to maintain them but also to prevent or reverse the loss of autonomy that may ensue. 

Achieving these objectives must start from a theoretical framework with the tools physicians can use to create a clinically sound treatment strategy, set rehabilitation goals, and ultimately begin physiotherapeutic treatment.  

To do this, professionals must assess and explore the patient, understanding the most complex aspects, such as the patient’s social context, the framework of action (home care, residential centers, day care centers, social centers and private clinics).  

This work should include treatments for pre-frailty, frailty, pain, trauma, neurological, respiratory and/or pelvic floor disorders, gerontological syndromes or cognitive impairment, side effects from drugs and/or biopsychosocial conditions that may complicate the clinical picture.  

It is, therefore, essential to become familiar with the tools used in physiotherapy and the appropriate prescription for each case, such as active exercise, manual therapy, electrotherapy, among others. Physicians must also be able to work in interdisciplinary team, with appropriate communication tools, understanding the concept of person-centered care, having the most updated knowledge of support devices and even the support of current technology, if their physiotherapy treatments are to be successful.
