The first year is accredited through the American Board of Internal Medicine, and is designed to provide Internal Medicine or Family Medicine trained physicians a 12-month clinical training program, sufficient to sit for the certification examination in geriatrics.

2. Provide fellows with the opportunity to improve their communication skills with patients, families, and professional colleagues.
3. Provide opportunities for fellows to develop clinical competence in the overall field of geriatric medicine.
