University of Pennsylvania Health System Program
About This Program
Our geriatric fellowship program provides FM and IM based trainees a very balanced clinical training in all four sites of care: long term care, hospital, out patient and home based care. Trainees get to see multiple models of health care on both an academic side and the VA side. The patient population served is very diverse from both the surrounding community and further away. We have a focus on preparing trainines for academic careeers as clinical leaders, educators and researchers.
