Abstract: 

The Harvard-Reynolds AGE Project's Geriatrics Clipboard is a creative and practical tool for teaching medical students vital concepts in geriatric history and physical examination. Printed on the front of the clipboard is a mnemonic "GRANDMA" that lists the 'must do' elements of a geriatric H & P as well as useful screening tools: the Confusion Assessment Method (CAM) for delirium and the Mini-Cog for dementia. On the back are laboratory reference values and on the clip is a handy solar-powered calculator. Aimed at second year students enrolled in the physical diagnosis course, the sturdy clipboard can also serve as a useful teaching tool for third/fourth year medical student during their clerkships and interns/residents.
