Curriculum

The Mount Carmel Geriatrics Fellowship offers a comprehensive program that addresses both primary and co-management clinical skills. Each clinical experience targets specific ACGME Milestones and prepares the fellow for a wide range of career options after successfully achieving board-certification. Rotations are unique and feature both immersive and exposure experiences, allowing the fellow to assume the leadership role with other trainees and disciplines while trying new procedures with the sub-specialty team. Fellows’ responsibilities align with their PG4 status and progress to expert level at graduation. They will follow their own panel of patients for all longitudinal experiences.
