 Combined
Geriatrics-Internal Medicine Residency Program (Ger-IMed)
Benefits and Advantages
After completion of this four-year residency, a
resident will be Board Eligible for both Internal Medicine as well as
Geriatrics. This residency will utilize the electives of the Internal
medicine residency to focus on Geriatric content. We would encourage
our graduates to complete the Certification for Added Qualifications (CAQ)
in Geriatrics.
As a certified geriatrician, the Ger-IMed resident will
be qualified for a variety of positions involved in geriatrics
including:
-
geriatric assessment programs

-
specialty geriatric clinics
-

Upon completion of the
residency, the Ger-IMed residents still have an option of pursuing
other subspecialty fellowship training.
