Abstract: In examining our current health care system, one of the major concerns is the lack of qualified medical providers to care for our imminently aging geriatric population. Current literature suggests Americans are living longer and presenting to providers with increasingly complex multiple chronic conditions in record numbers (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2013). The United States Department of Health and Human Services (2014) estimates in 2013 there were 44.7 million Americans aged 65 and older residing in all 50 states comprising 14.1 percent of the United States population, or one in every seven American. Furthermore, predictions from the United States Census Bureau (2010) estimates the number of older adults residing in the U.S. will double to nearly 88 million by the year 2050. One of the many chronic conditions...........
