What is Geriatrics and what is Gerontology?

Geriatrics (jer-ee-a-triks) is the branch of medicine that specializes in caring for older adults. A Geriatrician (Jerr-ee-uh-trish-uhn) is a medical doctor with specialized training to manage diseases of aging.  

Gerontology (jer-uh n-tol-uh-jee) is the field dealing with physical, mental and social aspects of aging. A Gerontologist (jerr-en-tol-uh-jist) generally has a PhD, or a Master of Science.
