The Chief Resident Immersion Training (CRIT) program provides cased based training in geriatrics principles to chief residents, who typically receive minimal exposure to geriatrics during their medical or surgical specialty residency training. The program is designed to foster institutional collaboration among disciplines to improve care coordination and quality for hospitalized, at-risk older adults, and to develop chief residents teaching and leadership skills with an emphasis on medically complex older patients. To date the CRIT program has been conducted over 30 times at 16 institutions nationwide. In 2017, a toolkit of materials developed for CRIT by Boston Medical Center was posted on GeriatricsCareOnline.org. The resources are available for free and are intended to provide the starting point for anyone interested in adoption a CRIT program at their institution.
