MDR 827: Advanced Geriatrics

This advanced geriatrics elective allows students to gain additional experience evaluating older patients in a variety of care settings under the supervision of attendings physicians and fellows in geriatric medicine. It can also be designed to give students a clinical or research experience in a specialized area of geriatrics tailored to their interests. Students will be assigned to a primary clinical venue and will have opportunities to rotate through other care settings (inpatient consultation, outpatient, long-term care, specialty clinic, spinal cord service). As most of our clinical venues are located in the VA, students must be fully onboarded at the VA with up-to-date credentials.
