Geriatrics - Fellowship - Training Sites - New York City - Montefiore Medical Center

1. Montefiore Medical Center Geriatrics Acute Care Service
2. Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Geriatrics Ambulatory Practice
   Fellows are assigned a continuity panel of patients for whom they are the primary provider. The fellows' practice is integrated into the Einstein Division of Geriatrics Faculty Practice, in our state-of-the-art Medical Arts Pavilion located on the Montefiore campus.

Our mission is to provide comprehensive geriatric care to community dwelling elderly within the framework of Geriatrics Fellowship training. The Geriatric practice stresses a multi-disciplinary approach towards patient care. The goal is to maintain our patients independently in the community as long as is possible. The evaluation is tailored to the individual patient and includes a complete history and physical exam, a mental status exam, functional status assessment, psychosocial history and discussion about advanced directives.
