The geriatrics fellowship is offered collaboratively with the Department of Internal Medicine, and provides comprehensive clinical training in care of the elderly patient, as well as an academic component emphasizing the conduct of original research, regular opportunities to teach and supervise family practice residents and medical students, and a strong didactic curriculum based at the Turner Geriatrics Center and the Institute of Gerontology. Fellowship graduates are eligible to take the examination for a Certificate of Added Qualification in Geriatrics offered by the American Board of Family Practice.

Applications are available from the U-M Geriatrics Center website. On-Line Application (the preferred method of applying).

The program is a joint effort with the Department of Internal Medicine, Division of Geriatrics, and includes educational activities at the University Hospital, the VA Ann Arbor Healthcare System, at Arbor Hospice and at the Glacier Hills Care & Rehabilitation Center.

While the basic fellowship is a 1-year clinical experience, individuals interested in a two- or three-year academic/research-oriented program are encouraged to apply.
