You'll collaborate with outstanding interprofessional teams to improve care delivery and get the experience you need for the career you want.
“I came to appreciate not only the opportunity to develop my interests but also to discover new dimensions of the geriatric specialty. I saw an amazing opportunity for growth supported by a wonderful learning environment, with clear support from the division head, Dr. Asthana; the amazing PD and APD, Dr. Chapman and Dr. Barczi; and the clinical and administrative staff.”
—Floreta Shapiro, DO, MA, fellowship alumna
