Fellowship Education


The geriatric fellowship at Michigan State University provides general psychiatrists an in-depth training program for treating elderly patients with complex health issues. Fellows rotate through multiple community-based settings and two hospitals. Prioritizing patient care and the education of our residents is at the core of our mission. The fellows are engaged with the general residents in various educational opportunities such as DEI-themed book clubs, a department-wide Film Festival, Residency Research Poster Day, resident sub-specialty conferences, community outreach projects, resident retreats, and resident wellness days.
