Research
First Year Fellows receive a yearlong exposure to research methodology in their didactic trainings. All Fellows staying for a second year are expected to acquire a firm knowledge base in theoretical and practical aspects of research in aging, which will permit them to critically evaluate the research of others and to participate in the design and conduct of their own projects. Fellows pursing the research track identify an area of research and a mentor with whom they work closely to formulate a hypothesis and to gather and analyze data. Fellows pursuing the clinician-educator track define a project in geriatrics education or administration and work on implementation with a faculty advisor.
