The principle site is Kuakini Medical Center, but residents are also scheduled for some experiences at the VA and Kaiser. All training is directly supervised on-site by a faculty geriatrician. The experiences are diverse, including outpatient and inpatient consults, home visits, nursing home visits, didactic sessions, journal club, individually arranged tutorial sessions designed expressly for the resident, and a requirement for the resident to do a presentation at the end of their rotation. The experience is interdisciplinary, providing residents experience working as part of a team including geriatric psychiatrists, a psychologist, nurses in advance practice, social workers, and rehabilitation therapists.
Electives are available at any time during the resident program.
The faculty is willing to tailor an elective to an individual resident to provide an experience that is suited to the level and interest of the resident. Electives may be either clinically or research oriented. The resident will be able to manage common clinical presentations. The resident will be able to manage elder abuse. The resident will be able to manage failure to thrive, frailty.
