Overview
Doug Oliver is an Associate Professor and Medical Director at the McMaster Family Practice. Doug is passionate about older adult health care and age-friendly home care services. He has developed several programs including a Long-Term Care clinical rotation for medical residents and a successful annual CME event entitled “Care of the Elderly: Perspectives for Primary Care.” His clinical commitment to this patient population continues with weekly nursing home rounds and house calls to older adults with frailty.
