Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A gerontologist is a specialist in the study of aging and the physical, mental, and social issues that come with it. Since Dr. Goldblum's medical practice specializes in the treatment of the elderly, he would likely have knowledge and experience in this area and thus be considered a gerontologist. The other options, thanatologist (dealing with death and dying), gynecologist (specializing in women's reproductive health), and penologist (specializing in the study of prisons and prisoners), do not necessarily relate to the care of elderly patients.
