The UH/VA Geriatric Medicine Fellowship Program takes advantage of the growing senior care network within these two systems. Fellows will spend time at each institution as well as interacting with community agencies. The program strengths include training in Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment, Transitional Care, Inpatient geriatrics, Hospice/Palliative Care and House Calls Medicine. A new addition to our training program is a Palliative Care consult service at University Hospitals.
