About the expert
Focus: Geriatric rheumatology and the 5M framework in older patient care
Rheumatologist specializing in care for older adults with rheumatologic conditions. Advocates for the 5M framework (Mind, Mobility, Medications, Multi-complexity, Matters Most) to provide holistic, patient-centered care that transcends simple disease management. Focuses on identifying frailty and multimorbidity, prioritizing deprescribing and lifestyle interventions to maintain patient independence. Calls for greater representation of older adults in clinical trials.
Why this matters
Rheumatologist focused on geriatric rheumatology and patient-centered care for older adults. Tends to view rheumatology drug protocols developed in younger trial populations as needing careful adaptation for older patients, and advocates for the 5M framework as a structured way to integrate function, deprescribing, and patient goals into care decisions. Strongest on geriatric-specific care patterns; less involved in disease-mechanism research.
