Medical Students

The faculty members of the Division of Geriatrics are award-winning, innovative leaders and educators in the UCSF School of Medicine and Department of medicine in undergraduate medical education. We aim to inspire medical students in the care of older persons, those with serious illness, and in the areas of interprofessional collaboration and health systems improvement.
