“I’ve really benefitted from my training so far. During rotations at the VA, we’ve had the opportunity to obtain long-term care experience with veterans who need rehabilitation and respite care. This experience is also combined with outpatient work; on a weekly basis we work directly with attendings at an outpatient clinic. The attendings help us with many outpatient issues, from dementia, to falls, to multiple medication management. There really are a variety of experiences.”

"I enjoyed the clinics rotation, where I worked closely with a variety of subspecialties related to geriatric medicine. Inpatient consult service was also full of learning opportunities, and timely and frequent feedback from attendings who I worked one-on-one everyday was priceless. I believe I have acquired well-rounded clinical knowledge and skills throughout the year, through workshops and advanced courses in evidence-based medicine, long-term care, and clinical teaching."
