A Gerontologist is a professional who has an advanced degree in gerontology. (Gerontology is the science of aging. It is a multidisciplinary study of the physical, cognitive, emotional, and social changes associated with the aging process and how to cope with these changes.) A Gerontologist is different from a Geriatrician.
