The Geriatric Track:
The Geriatrics Track is designed to enhance the experience of residents interested in sharpening their skills and increasing their knowledge in Geriatrics regardless of their interest in pursuing a Geriatrics Fellowship. The track begins during first year and continues throughout residency. The resident is paired with a faculty mentor with expertise in geriatrics and gains additional geriatric experience through longitudinal electives, elective rotations and geriatric conferences in order to increase exposure to unique geriatric patients and cases. The track is designed to engage the resident in many facets of geriatric medicine including medical directorships of long-term care facilities, wound care, palliative end-of-life care, as well as the general care and assessment of geriatric patients. |
