Meet Our Program Director

"During the year you're with us, we give you a strong foundation in core principles and also the opportunity to dig into the areas that are most important to you. We want you to feel like you were listened to, and that you have everything you need to be the geriatrician you want to be."

Why You'll Love Our Program

  • The full spectrum of practice: from acute care to ambulatory care, and from the subspecialty clinic to home visits
  • Renowned clinician-teachers who work nationally to shape the curriculum for geriatric medicine education
  • Cutting-edge physician-scientists whose research improves the care of people with Alzheimer's disease, tackles health disparities, and helps better serve diverse communities
  • Holistic, person-centered care for complex older adults with the support of high-functioning, supportive interprofessional teams in every clinical setting
This fellowship allowed me to see the full breadth of geriatric care in settings throughout the entire health system and simultaneously provided opportunities to personalize training to my interests.

Life in Madison

Madison is a place unlike anywhere else. Find out why we love living here.
The faculty's support and encouragement, along with their cutting-edge knowledge in the field of geriatrics, prepared me to become a well-rounded geriatrician after my training. I gained invaluable knowledge about how to provide compassionate and comprehensive care for all geriatrics patients.
