About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today we're talking with Dr. Smith, an expert in geriatric health and genetics. Dr. Smith, could you tell us about your personal experiences in this field? GUEST: Sure, I've seen firsthand how understanding a patient's genetic factors can greatly improve their care as they age. It's fascinating and rewarding work. HOST: That's amazing. And what current trends are you seeing in geriatric genetics? GUEST: There's a growing interest in pharmacogenomics, which is the study of how genes affect a person's response to drugs. This has significant implications for personalized medicine in the elderly. HOST: I can imagine! Now, what challenges do you face when it comes to teaching or learning about geriatric genetics? GUEST: The rapid advancement of genomic technology can make it hard to keep up. But it's an exciting challenge because these advancements can greatly benefit our elderly population. HOST: Absolutely. Looking forward, where do you see the future of geriatric genetics heading? GUEST: I believe we'll see more widespread use of genomic sequencing and gene expression analysis in routine geriatric care. This will allow for more targeted, effective treatments. HOST: That sounds promising. We're excited to learn more about this topic through your course, 'Advanced Skill Certificate in Genetic Factors in Geriatric Health'. Thanks for joining us today, Dr. Smith! GUEST: My pleasure. Thanks for having me!
