Overview

Our mission is to train the next generation of geriatric physicians dedicated to care for those in underserved and rural areas of the US. The one-year fellowship program will give the trainee an opportunity to learn geriatric focused medicine within the hospital, outpatient clinic, long term care facility, and the community. A unique feature of this program is that hospital, clinical, long term, and skilled nursing care are all within the UNC Health Blue Ridge campus.
