Thank you for your interest in the geriatrics fellowship program! Our program was established in 1984 and was one of the first programs in the country. We created the fellowship in response to changing demographics and the unique care needs of geriatric patients. Our program was one of the first to be accredited when that milestone became available in 1988 and received full reaccreditations in 2007 without any citations.
In addition to 10 Geriatric trained faculty, Fellows enjoy the extensive resources of the Department of Family Medicine, which includes 25 physician faculty and 25 faculty in other clinical and non-clinical positions. In addition to faculty in geriatrics, faculty in educational development, predoctoral education, and research contribute to the fellowship program. We also have a large family medicine residency program that includes 33 residents.
Seminars are held weekly during the year to cover a wide range of topics. Fellows are involved in a yearly 36-seminar program in faculty development sponsored by the department, which covers a wide range of topics, including research fundamentals, curriculum development, small and large group teaching skills, and professional development.
Please review our webpages to learn more about our curriculum, typical weekly schedule, and salary and benefits. We will prepare you for the future!
