I am delighted to announce my promotion to Clinical Professor of Geriatrics and Palliative Medicine at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Teaching medical students, residents, and fellows has been a passion, and over the years I had the honor and privilege of mentoring trainees through dozens of research projects related to wound care.| Jeffrey M Levine, MD
I feel honored and pleased to be able to make this contribution that will hopefully provide medical practitioners with the basics of care of pressure injuries and chronic wounds.| Jeffrey M Levine, MD
Despite the well-documented association of chronic wounds with aging, we conclude that the field of geriatrics has provided suboptimal attention to this important topic. Looking toward the future, the agenda for geriatrics must include education, research, and collaboration with other disciplines to optimize outcomes related to pressure injuries and other chronic wounds including diabetic, vascular, post-surgical, and wounds related to malignancy.| Jeffrey M Levine, MD
