Summa Health System/NEOMED Program
About This Program
As a university affiliated, community based health care system, our fellowship offers fellows the unique opportunity to experience aspects of practicing geriatric medicine in both an academic and community environment during their year-long training. Our fellowship has the privilege of working closely with the Hospice and Palliative Medicine Fellowship and both fellowships routinely participate in shared didactics, case presentations, and journal clubs.
