Fellows in the Geriatric Psychiatry Clinical Fellowship are exposed to a complete spectrum of clinical and academic experiences in geriatric psychiatry, geriatrics, and gerontology. Not only do fellows acquire expertise in using pharmacotherapy and psychosocial interventions to treat patients with late-life mental disorders, but their training also provides them with an in-depth understanding of the family and environmental systems in which older patients live.
