Our faculty are experienced geriatricians. We train physicians for Iowa and beyond to be leaders in patient-centered, team-based care delivery, and to meet the unique health care needs of older adults.

Our fellows are driven to rewarding and meaningful careers in the practice of geriatric medicine.

Our patients are the most important part of our fellowship training! They come to UI Health Care to receive the very best care from experts who are passionate and personable. As Iowa’s only academic medical center, we see a comprehensive mix of cases in our Geriatric Health Assessment Clinic, particularly patients with significant medical and psychosocial complexity.
