Education and Training

The Division of Geriatric Medicine at the University of Pittsburgh offers a continuum of training opportunities that prepare physicians, clinician–educators, and researchers to meet the needs of an aging population. Our programs emphasize patient-centered, evidence-based care and the integration of geriatric principles across every care setting. Trainees benefit from close mentorship, interdisciplinary collaboration, and the vast clinical and academic resources of one of the nation’s leading health systems.

Clinical education begins with dedicated geriatrics rotations for internal medicine residents and extends through our ACGME-accredited Geriatric Medicine Fellowship, which provides hands-on experience across inpatient, outpatient, long-term, and community-based care. Research training within the division spans predoctoral to postdoctoral levels, uniting clinical, translational, and biological approaches to aging. Together, these programs advance a shared mission: to train innovative leaders who will shape the science and practice of aging for years to come.
