Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A geriatrician is a physician who specializes in the care of older adults. Gerontology is the study of aging, but a gerontologist may not necessarily be a physician. Ageology is not a recognized term in the field of medicine. An oncologist specializes in the treatment of cancer, and while they may work with older adults, their specialty is not focused solely on the care of older adults.
