The Geriatric Psychiatry Fellowship Training Program is a one-year PGY V training program, which is fully accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). It consists of four three-month rotations. Our educational framework builds on the understanding that a person, regardless of age, is a composite of mind, body, brain and environment. We organize and synthesize all treatment approaches according to this biopsychosocial perspective.
The program accepts up to three fellows per year. There is a high ratio of resident to faculty with added qualifications in geriatric psychiatry and individualized clinical supervision is emphasized.
Clinical rotations are carefully coordinated to maximize clinical exposure to the field of geriatric psychiatry in a multiplicity of treatment settings.
