Geriatric Fellowship Program

Program Director's Message

The HRSA funded Geriatric Fellowship Program provides an academic, clinical, and administrative career in geriatric medicine, dentistry, or psychiatry. The program is based at SUNY Downstate Medical Center and focuses on work in urban and public settings. The program emphasizes an interdisciplinary approach to geriatrics with considerable interaction among the fellows in each specialty. All disciplines are exposed to a variety of inpatient, long-term care, and community settings. All participants can take courses in the School of Public Health and may obtain a MPH degree. Participants also receive additional training in pedagogical techniques, information technology, and administration.
