Residencies

Content

Geriatrics residency rotations are required activities for trainees in Medicine, Family Medicine, and Psychiatry. These required rotations offer excellent opportunities to learn the process of comprehensive geriatric assessment, the essential tool for evaluating the elderly patient with numerous complicating and interacting problems affecting quality of life.

The residents learn about diagnosis and treatment strategies employed by geriatricians in the care of frail elders and their families and learn to provide care for older adults as part of an interdisciplinary team in varied health care settings, including managed care and geropsychiatry clinics.
