Fellowship Opportunities

Geriatric Curriculum

The geriatrics curriculum prepares our residents to comprehensively and holistically identify and manage the physical, psychological, and social health concerns of older adults. Residents participate in journal clubs and didactic sessions throughout their three years of training. The department has three fellowship-trained geriatricians as full-time faculty available to serve as models and mentors and has an established geriatric medicine fellowship for physicians who have completed a family medicine or internal medicine residency. Residents may collaborate with faculty who have expertise in research involving health services, home care, or nutritional issues. Residents learn to work effectively as one member of an interdisciplinary geriatrics team which includes nurses, social workers, physician assistants, gerodentists, and neurophyshologists.

Residents participate in a longitudinal experience at Maple Knoll Village. This is a state-of-the-art continuing care retirement community and serves as the academic retirement home for residency. The physicians coordinate the patient care in the independent living, assisted living, and nursing home areas of Maple Knoll Village. Geriatric experiences include nursing home, home care, and sub-acute hospital units as well as outpatient clinical experiences, introduction and work in specialty clinics, such as neuropsychology and urinary incontinence, and participation in community outreach programs such as day care, elder abuse assessments, Meals on Wheels visitations, and Alzheimer's support groups. Special tutorials with geriatrics faculty are available. Residency graduates have the opportunity to continue their geriatric medicine training in the Department of Family Medicine's one or two year Geriatric Fellowship Programs.

There are numerous museums: The Museum Center (natural history displays, Cincinnati cultural exhibits and interactive displays), Art Museum, Contemporary Arts, Krohn Conservatory (this has an extensive array of flora and fauna in greenhouses, complete with waterfalls), a world renowned symphony orchestra, and National baseball and football teams. Other attractions include the Cincinnati Zoo, Paramount's Kings Island Amusement Park, and just across the Ohio River is the Newport Aquarium.
