The Physician Fellowship Program in Geriatric Medicine at the University of South Florida College of Medicine has a long, proud tradition of excellence in clinical care, teaching, and research. We believe the experiences and mentoring provided in the course of the fellowship help trainees identify career goals and take the first crucial steps toward achieving them. The Fellowship Program is usually appointed for one year, with the option of staying for a second year if funding becomes available.
The first year of clinical training of the fellowship satisfies the ACGME's guidelines so that upon successful completion of the year, fellows may take the American Board of Internal Medicine Certificate of Added Qualifications in Geriatrics.
Beyond the first year, fellows may be able to complete an additional year of clinical or basic science research. The format, while intensive, is also very flexible, allowing participants to customize their training experience according to their personal career goals.
The Division of Geriatric Medicine is dedicated to enhancing the health of older adults by:
The targets of its educational programs are generalist internists and family practitioners.
