Imagine learning medicine not just from textbooks, but by sharing daily life with those you hope to help. That’s exactly what MSU med student Kaylin Burton is doing at Holland Home in Grand Rapids, where she’s living alongside dementia patients. This unique approach is changing how future doctors understand and connect with older adults—focusing on real relationships, not just clinical care. Residents are embracing Kaylin as family, and staff are inspired to spend more time connecting with patients. Could this hands-on, community-based model be the future of dementia care and medical training? #Health #MentalHealth #DementiaCare
