Dr. Susan Ilkov-Moor is always interested in hearing from students at various levels and believes that no question is a bad question.
“Dr. Susan” is a Geriatric Psychiatrist at Queen’s University and at Providence Care-Mental Health Services. She has her subspecialty certificate in Geriatric Psychiatry.
Home grown, she completed Medical School, Residency, and Specialty Advanced Training at Queen’s University. Dr. Ilkov-Moor is an Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Queen’s University and teaches training physicians at various levels of their education in a variety of settings.
Clinically she is involved with both inpatient and outpatient care of the geriatric population in our region. The Outreach Team is a dynamic and energetic team of highly specialized nurses who work with Dr. Ilkov-Moor towards promoting a longer, better and most independent possible life for seniors. The highly innovative Outreach Teams serve our medical system at three levels:
1) The patient and family stay where they want to be, i.e., at home;
2) Through a process of shared care, family physicians develop the capacity to manage less serious geriatric psychiatry conditions within our population;
3) By treating various behavioural symptoms early, the team aims to avoid crisis for clients and families thus diverting medical attention at acute care hospitals and delaying admission to long term care.
Additionally, Dr. Ilkov-Moor serves in-patients on the Seniors Mental Unit at Providence Care Hospital. There, also within a multidisciplinary team, she provides care for some of the most seriously ill, treatment resistant and/or difficult patients throughout the region. Dr. Ilkov-Moor also enjoys continuity of care; seeing patients become outpatients again, and remaining well in the community, an extremely rewarding experience for her.
In addition, Dr. Ilkov-Moor is dedicated to medical education and quality care. She belongs to the Residency Progress Committee, holding the CARMs portfolio, as well as the Faculty Development Committee, and the Medical Mortality Review Committee. As an integral part of the dynamic division of Geriatric Psychiatry, she shares in the vision of providing quality care to many seniors in an effective and efficient practice.
