Drs. Laura Hanson, Anthony Caprio, Terrence Holt, C. Glenn Pickard (recently retired), and Racquel Daley-Placide of the Division of Geriatric Medicine

A Critical Need
Elderly people are now the most rapidly growing segment of the national population. Greatly needed are inspirational teachers, caring clinicians, effective administrators, and imaginative researchers in the field of geriatrics.

A Positive Response
The Geriatric Fellowship Program at Chapel Hill prepares physicians for leadership in geriatric care. UNC offers three fellowships: Clinical, Academic, and Research. Each program provides an integrated interdisciplinary experience tailored to the needs of each fellow.

What distinguishes UNC's Fellowship?

• A Tradition of Excellence. We train a small number of highly accomplished and successful fellows.
• A Flexible and Tailored Program. As a smaller program, we are flexible and will create a training program designed to meet each fellow's individual career goals.
• Superior Resources. There are four highly-ranked health affairs schools literally across the street from MacNider Hall, the home of the School of Medicine. Other schools, divisions, and departments are only one or two blocks away. UNC's health professions schools consistently achieve the highest rankings in the U.S. Research and health policy opportunities are available in collaboration with the School of Public Health, Cecil B. Sheps Center for Health Services Research, and the Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, to name only a few. UNC Hospitals and its clinics are ranked nationally for excellence in service delivery. The Program o n Aging is a unique, nationally-ranked, 25-member, interdisciplinary program that engages in clinical services, research and educational activities. The Southern Gerontological Society has awarded the Program on Aging and its Interdisciplinary Clinical Team its Best Practices Award.
