The University of Rochester Medical Center is a nationally recognized center for excellence in geriatric psychiatry along with allied fields including neurobiology and aging, gerontology, and geriatric medicine. Since 1983, we have offered fellowship training in geriatric psychiatry as part of a rich educational tradition in multidisciplinary, clinical and academic activities.
We offer one-year PGY-5 clinical fellowships in geriatric psychiatry. Upon successful completion of our ACGME-accredited program, our graduates will be eligible for the ABPN subspecialty examination in geriatric psychiatry.
We also offer a 2-year HRSA-funded Interdisciplinary Geriatrics Fellowship, which integrates the core disciplines of psychiatry, medicine, and dentistry, and prepares trainees for careers in academic medicine as clinical and educational leaders.
Both fellowships offer training in the care of older patients in a variety of inpatient, long-term care, outpatient, consultation, palliative care and community aging services settings. Supervised clinical experiences are complemented by a didactic program, elective offerings, and opportunities to develop individual scholarly and research interests. In addition to the breadth of our clinical programs and patient populations, we have a large cadre of experienced and nationally recognized clinicians, teachers, and researchers serving on our faculty. We pride ourselves on providing a stimulating, rewarding educational experience in a supportive and nurturing environment.
