Geriatrics is a lot of fun, but can sometimes seem daunting, especially to young physicians. Our required curriculum includes 1 month for intensive study of the problems of the elderly as well as longitudinal exposure to older patients in multiple settings including hospital, clinic, skilled nursing and long term care facilities and home Hospice. The goal during these rotations is to help make the care of elderly patients, with their many and complex problems, less threatening. We learn through reading, small group didactic sessions and patient evaluations.
The Geriatrics Track is an opportunity for those residents considering a geriatrics fellowship, inpatient work or caring for the elderly with a strong interest in internal medicine and/or end of life issues to pursue a more intense geriatric experience.
Residents with strong academic standing may apply at the end of the 2nd year for the 1-year track in the 3rd year. Interested? Contact Lynne Diamond, M.D.
