Our fellowship training program is fully accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education. The fellow will have the opportunity to provide both primary and consultative care to older adults in the acute, ambulatory, home, and long term care settings.

  • Fellows will also provide care to persons who are generally healthy and require primarily preventive health care services.

  • Fellows work as members of an interdisciplinary care team and gain expertise in the important function the team plays in taking care of an older adult.

  • Fellows will develop skills that will allow them to provide care to the whole patient and learn how psychosocial and economic issues impact the health and care of the elderly.
