The University of Utah’s School of Medicine, Division of Geriatrics offers an ACGME-accredited fellowship program for up to two fellows. Candidates must be eligible for board certification in family practice or internal medicine.
We offer two training pathways:
-
A one-year track focusing on skills needed for clinical practice.
-
A two to three-year track designed to develop academic and administrative skills in addition to clinical expertise. This track can be combined with a masters degree program such as medical informatics, clinical investigation, public health, or business administration.
Distinguishing characteristics of this program are: primacy of education and supervision over clinical service; key faculty with multiple board certifications including geriatric psychiatry; a variety of clinical venues in a university, VA, and community setting; opportunities for academic activity and additional degrees; and a beautiful environment.
Recent graduates of our fellowship program have gone on to positions as academic faculty and geriatric program directors, directors of Veterans Administration geriatric programs, leaders of clinical community geriatric groups, medical directors of extended care facilities, and major contributors in the formulation of governmental geriatric health policy.
We have a rolling admissions process. We accept highly qualified candidates at any time. We strongly encourage you to submit your application by November 1. Once the two positions have been selected for the upcoming academic year, we will post a notification on this site. We are now accepting applications for positions starting July 1, 2009.
