Welcome
The goal of the University of Washington Geriatric Medicine Fellowship Program is to provide the highest quality training with an emphasis on diversity in patient population, sites of practice, and organizational structure.
Our renowned faculty members, in conjunction with opportunites for clinical and research training, provides fellows with exceptional learning opportunities at each of our three world-class medical facilities: Harborview Medical Center, VA Puget Sound and the University of Washington Medical Center.
Leaders in various facets of Aging and Geriatric Medicine, as well as many of our own Division faculty, have been trained through our fellowship program.
We welcome and encourage applicants from diverse backgrounds, including underrepresented minorities. Diversity enriches the educational experience for all faculty and fellows as we prepare the next generation of leaders in geriatric medicine.
