Training geriatricians to provide exemplary senior care. The USD Geriatrics Fellowship is an innovator in part-time curriculum for practicing physicians. Many physicians see the need for more geriatric experience but cannot leave practice. The part-time track allows physicians to maintain their practice while receiving additional training.
To provide fellows with training to become competent, proficient and professional geriatric physicians in the inpatient, nursing home and outpatient settings.
The USD Geriatrics Fellowship offers a diverse curriculum over the broad spectrum of geriatrics care and settings. Our Geriatrics Fellowship program has been ACGME Accredited since 2010 and has graduated 11 fellows from both our full-time and part-time tracks.
Our diverse curricula stems from our association with Avera McKennan Hospital & University Health Center, Sanford USD Medical Center, and the Sioux Falls VA Medical Center.

All our fellows, regardless of prior experience, some with over 20 years, say they know more geriatrics and are better physicians.
The geriatric program gave me enough autonomy to grow as a provider, with enough experience and learning from my attendings to be a better doctor.
This program offered a part-time option which meant I could keep my hospitalist job and pursue specialist training at the same time. They offered a very flexible schedule.
