We welcome applications from Internal and Family Medicine residents eager to improve the care of older adults. We train fellows to provide the high-quality evidence-based care in the hospital, office, home and long-term care. Outpatient care is based at our multidisciplinary Geriatrics and Healthy Aging Center, serving a diverse population of seniors in greater Hartford, CT. Fellows are exposed to research at our Older Americans Independence Center with options to pursue geroscience research.
