Physician Mini-Fellowships: Geriatrics for the Non-Geriatrician

The 2009 Mini-Fellowship program will be offered February 29 - March 2, 2010 in New York City.

Program

The three-day mini-fellowship is targeted at non-geriatrician physicians responsible for teaching medical students and residents how to care for older adults. The course covers geriatric content, palliative medicine, the geriatrics approach to patient care, advanced teaching skills, and curriculum development. Sessions are taught through demonstrations, self-study, small- and large-group sessions, e-learning, role-playing, and post-course mentoring. We offer four clinical tracks and two teaching tracks. CME credits are awarded.
