Geriatric Fellows

There are currently two palliative care training opportunities available to Geriatrics fellows at Mount Sinai:

Required Palliative Care Rotation

All Mount Sinai Hospital Geriatrics fellows are required to complete a 4-week Palliative Care Consultation Service Rotation during the first year of their Geriatrics fellowship.

Palliative Medicine Fellowship

Additional training in palliative medicine is available for those fellows who desire it. Previous fellows in geriatrics have chosen to augment their training with an additional year of training in clinical, educational, research and administrative aspects of palliative medicine. Upon completion of training, fellows are board-eligible in both geriatrics and medicine. This Integrated Fellowship is designed for those fellows wishing to develop a career as an academic leader in Palliative Care and Geriatrics.

Any interested fellows should discuss this possibility with Dr. Helen Fernandez and Dr. Lynn O'Neill.
