An exam-preparatory manual for MD Geriatrics built on the National Medical Commission competency-based postgraduate curriculum and mapped topic by topic to the questions asked in MD, DNB and PG Diploma in Geriatric Medicine papers from 2014 to 2025. Fourteen syllabus sections and more than 250 topics cover the basic sciences of ageing; comprehensive geriatric assessment and the geriatric syndromes (frailty, falls, delirium, dementia, incontinence, polypharmacy and deprescribing, pressure injuries, pain, sleep); the cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal, renal, endocrine, nervous and musculoskeletal systems in old age; psycho-geriatrics; haematology, oncology, skin and special senses; infections, immunisation and peri-operative care; social geriatrics, policy, ethics and end-of-life care; and preventive geriatrics, rehabilitation and recent advances. Every topic opens with its previous-year questions and NMC competencies, then gives the definition, classification and assessment tables, investigation and treatment tables, flowcharts, clinical pearls and current guidelines such as the AGS Beers criteria, STOPP/START and WHO ICOPE. It also includes the practical examination, a geriatric formulary with assessment scales and reference values, four algorithm atlases, solved clinical case scenarios, rapid-fire viva questions, MCQs with answers, model long- and short-essay answers, a question bank arranged by topic and by examination, and the NMC curriculum map.
