About
The person and purpose behind MyClinicianGuide
MyClinicianGuide is a practical outpatient geriatrics and primary care reference for nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and physicians caring for older adults. It is built and maintained by Dr. Abiola Akinosho-Williams, PhD, APRN, GNP-BC — a board-certified geriatric nurse practitioner with over 15 years of clinical experience across assisted living, memory care, home visits, outpatient geriatrics, and primary care. The guide focuses on the real-world decisions clinicians make every day: medication safety in older adults, geriatric syndromes, urgent care decisions outside the hospital, goals-of-care conversations, transitions of care, and the documentation and billing skills that textbooks rarely teach. It is not a textbook, not a regulatory reference, and not a substitute for clinical judgment — it is a practical companion designed to make clinicians faster, safer, and more confident in the work they already do.
Who's Behind This Guide
This guide was created by Abiola Akinosho-Williams, PhD, APRN, GNP-BC — a board-certified geriatric nurse practitioner with over 15 years of experience caring for older adults across nursing facilities, assisted living communities, and outpatient settings.
She holds a PhD in Nursing and is currently pursuing a Master of Legal Studies (MLS). Her clinical work spans skilled nursing facilities, long-term care, memory care, and outpatient geriatric practice.
This guide was built to fill a gap — giving new and transitioning clinicians the practical, real-world knowledge that textbooks and orientation programs often skip.

Who This App Is For — Age + Frailty
The guidance in this app is developed by a Geriatric Nurse Practitioner and is intended for adults aged 55 and older, or younger adults who exhibit geriatric syndromes, frailty, or age-related vulnerabilities. Age categories are based on functional status, clinical risk, and geriatric care principles rather than chronological age alone. Clinicians should apply their professional judgment and follow their scope of practice when using this information.
Who This Is For
- Nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and physicians practicing in adult primary care or outpatient geriatrics — at any career stage
- Clinicians transitioning from acute care, hospital medicine, or other specialties
- Seasoned providers looking for quick refreshers, shareable resources, or new clinical tools
- Anyone who wants practical, real-world guidance for everyday geriatric clinical work
This Is NOT…
- A textbook or comprehensive medical reference
- Legal or regulatory advice
- A substitute for clinical judgment, institutional policies, or evidence-based guidelines
- A certification or continuing education program
It's a practical companion — designed to help you feel more confident, more prepared, and less alone as you navigate outpatient geriatric and primary care practice.
Includes urgent care guidance because urgent decision-making is a daily reality across assisted living, memory care, home visits, primary care, and walk-in clinics — see Why Urgent Care?
