Butler Hospital/Brown University Program
About This Program
Our geriatric fellowship offers broad clinical training across Rhode Island's diverse communities-including Portuguese, Cambodian, Hispanic, and Latino populations-and a wide range of socioeconomic backgrounds. Fellows rotate through a variety of clinical sites: the VA, academic, and community sites, including Level I trauma centers, tertiary care hospitals, nursing homes, and consult liaison services. They are exposed to home based geriatric care as well. We offer electives in neuroradiology.
