Match Day Success In a national landscape where only about 40% of geriatrics fellowship positions fill each year, we feel especially privileged to train a stellar and committed group of future geriatricians. Their enthusiasm, diversity of experience, and dedication to the care of older adults will enrich our program and our community.

Medicine Resident Bootcamps
This fall, we hosted several geriatrics bootcamps for UCLA internal medicine residents—a comprehensive, hands-on introduction to the 5Ms of geriatrics. Through small-group learning, practical demonstrations, and case- based discussions, residents gained foundational skills to better care for older adults. The goal is to equip every internal medicine resident—regardless of future specialty—with core geriatrics principles that enhance the safety, dignity, and well- being of their older patients.
