Entrustable professional activities of geriatrics and critical care medicine. Entrustable professional activities define the skills that describe a discipline’s specific expertise. Geriatric critical care medicine represents the integration of entrustable professional activities from both geriatrics and critical care. The left-hand box (yellow) describes critical care–specific entrustable professional activities. The middle box (orange) describes entrustable professional activities that overlap between geriatrics and critical care. The right-hand box (red) describes the entrustable professional activities for geriatrics. Because these geriatric entrustable professional activities are not traditional components of critical care clinical training, they represent the skills that critical care clinicians should develop to provide optimal care for older adults with critical illness. ICU = intensive care unit.
