UMass Chan-Baystate Program
About This Program
One of the greatest assets to training in our program is the interdisciplinary and interprofessional nature of our teaching. We practice and learn in teams with advanced practitioners, nurses, social workers, and pharmacists; not just geriatricians but physicians from multiple other specialties serve as faculty. As a result, our fellows experience a broad spectrum of approaches to caring for older adults and have a wide range of choices when considering scholarly activities.
