Fellows spend 70% of time at their assigned block rotation site. Fellows spend 1/2 day per week at their continuity site, 1/2 day per week in didactic conferences, and 1/2 day per week (year 1) in independent/elective time.
Fellows take no in-hospital call. Fellows take call from home for the University practice, Monday-Thursday during Acute Care Geriatrics block rotations* and approximately seven weekends per year, with faculty geriatricians.
Fellows are allowed three weeks per year vacation time and educational meetings time, with approval of the program director.
Fellows remaining for a second year will design their schedules according to interests.
