Geriatric Medicine Fellowship Program
Internal Medicine-Geriatrics Integrated Training Program
In 2022, we received ACGME approval to launch a 4-year integrated program in Internal Medicine and Geriatrics. Graduates will be eligible to sit for both board exams at the end of the four-year period. Because some geriatrics requirements can be completed during PGY1-PGY3, our PGY4 residents have protected time for additional professional/career development (research, coursework, other scholarly work).
