The University of Colorado Denver and Denver
Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center offer one and two-year
Geriatric Medicine fellowships. The fully-accredited program is
primarily designed to prepare leaders for careers in academic
Geriatric Medicine and clinical geriatrics.
Fellowships are sponsored by the Division of Geriatric Medicine in
the School of Medicine and the Denver Department of Veteran Affairs
Medical Center. The integrated program shares a common core of
clinical, educational, and research activities. Graduate work towards
a Masters in Preventive Medicine is also available, as is a
PhD in Clinical Science.
The fellowship is part of a comprehensive program of education,
clinical care, and research under the Center on Aging. This
multidisciplinary program has an established record as the regional
center for geriatrics education for health professionals, and sponsors
a wide array of research in geriatrics and gerontology.
v
The clinical core curriculum includes participation in continuity
clinics, outpatient and inpatient evaluation units, a geriatric
consultation service, on-site nursing home, home care, and hospice
programs.
All fellows participate in a set of well-established faculty
development modules, covering research methods, writing and teaching
skills, critical appraisal of the medical literature, and long term
care administration.
In addition to enhancing their more traditional diagnostic and
treatment skills, the fellow will develop competence as a teacher,
teaching internal medicine residents, medical students, and other
health care professionals.
Fellows develop research skills and are expected to design,
conduct, analyze, and publish a research project. Fellows have the
opportunity to work with a large and varied group of faculty from the
sponsoring departments as well as many other sub specialists oncampus.
v
The fellowship faculty includes eight full-time geriatricians
based at the Health Sciences Center and an additional seven full-time
geriatricians at affiliated institutions. Other core faculty are
from the Schools of Dentistry, Nursing, and Pharmacy. The faculty
are active nationally in organized medicine, federal and state health
policy, and research.
