A core conference weekly lecture series is designed for the fellowship and covers important topics in geriatrics at the fellow level. This lecture series also offers the fellows a chance to sit down with faculty to discuss difficult patient care issues, see additional care locations (such as the Alzheimer's Association and PACE), and participate in Journal Watch (a review of the most recent important articles in the geriatrics literature).

Grand Rounds are held weekly on Wednesdays from 4-5 p.m. at the medical center. Fellows participate alongside the faculty to learn from local and regional experts and discuss topics related to the care of older adults. 

Internal Medicine Grand Rounds: are held weekly on Friday morning from 7:30-8:30 am. Each departmental grand rounds presentation is sponsored by one of the divisions and all internal medicine faculty, residents, and students are invited to attend. The geriatric medicine division typically sponsors two to three presentations a year.

CME is offered for both. 

Journal Club is held once monthly in the evening. A faculty member hosts a dinner in his/her home and both fellows and faculty present a relevant, timely article for group discussion.

 Each first-year fellow is required to complete the OSCE, usually held in February. The skills observed include cognitive testing, depression screening, medication management, and communication. 

Fellows are required to complete a QI/QA project with faculty mentoring. Additional scholarly activity is encouraged and a second unaccredited year is available for completion of research projects.
