Fellowship Overview

The Geriatric Medicine Fellowship at Eisenhower Health is a comprehensive one-year, ACGME accredited training program which provide fellows-in-training a unique opportunity to gain geriatric care expertise in a nurturing and structured learning environment; enrich their clinical skills, medical knowledge, and experience in becoming more competent, effective, and independent clinicians while mastering geriatric core principles and evidence-based approach in the evaluation and management of simple and complex medical conditions commonly encountered among the older population; and develop an organized, collaborative, coordinated, and interdisciplinary approach to meet the growing demand and health care needs of the older population across all care settings. All fellows-in-training, under the supervision and mentorship of the attending physician, will actively participate and are expected to apply ACGME core competencies in providing compassionate, comprehensive, coordinated, culturally sensitive, goal directed, and patient-centered medical care.

The program will be sponsored primarily by Eisenhower’s Family Medicine Residency Program with strong collaboration and partnership with other core specialties. After completion of the one-year fellowship training and fulfilling all of the ACGME requirements, graduates are eligible to sit for the Geriatric Medicine Certification Examination offered by the American Board of Internal Medicine or American Board of Family Medicine.
