Fellowship Programs | Geriatrics, Hospice and Palliative Medicine | Department of Internal Medicine | UC Davis Health

Our innovative fellowship is designed to prepare fellows for excellence in clinical care, teaching, scholarship, research, quality improvement, and health care administration.  Our goal is to mentor fellows toward a leadership role in the field of geriatrics. 

Our one year program is designed to allow for a combination of clinical experiences and of creative/research/elective time to fulfill the training requirements for Board Certification in Hospice and Palliative Medicine.
