The four-week geriatrics rotation is required for all second-year internal medicine residents. The inpatient component is based at Greenberg 11SB, Acute Care for Elders (ACE) Unit at New York-Presbyterian Hospital. The outpatient week takes place at different venues across the city.
Residents also have opportunities for self-directed learning through readings and online modules and are encouraged to engage with patients/clients, families, and staff across these care settings. The SBP module is not about the physiology or pathophysiology of individuals but of the health care system – how and where health care is currently delivered to older adults. Residents also present one of their own WCIMA patients in the weekly geriatrics team meeting for discussion and advice. An oral exam and debriefing at the end of the week enable the resident to integrate the experiences and put them in context of their inpatient and outpatient responsibilities.
A two-week elective in geriatrics is available for interested medical residents.
