Med-Ger Program Overview

Our four year combined training program prepares Medicine/Geriatrics residents to be board certified in two board specialties:
- Internal Medicine
- Geriatrics
A sample curriculum structure is shown below. There is significant flexibility in the rotations and their organization, however. This allows us to adjust the curriculum to the needs of individual med-ger residents!
