Utah’s older population is growing rapidly. By 2025, it is projected Utah will have the nation’s fastest growth rate in its population above age 65.

In response to this need, the Division is actively expanding its research, education, and clinical programs. The Division is the academic home for Geriatric Medicine within the University of Utah School of Medicine. It is one component of the campus-wide Center on Aging, and is closely interconnected with the VA Salt Lake City Geriatric Research, Education, and Clinical Center (GRECC) as well as with other Center on Aging affiliated programs.
