The fellowship application process is much less structured than the residency Match. I honestly couldn't imagine what you could do other than demonstrate an aptitude for the care of the elderly. You could do some geriatric electives during third year, etc. You'll need a good letter of recommendation from your PD, and it'll help if the people who run the fellowship know you already. Other than that, I don't really know.
Thanks, I just need a little direction.
We have a one month geriatric rotation in our second yr where all 2nd yr residents would go through. And after that, you're given 2 geriatric patients at a nursing home where you will follow monthly until you finish.
This really helps when you try to get into a geriatric fellowship.
I guess you can use your elective month and rotate through an outside program that has a geriatric fellowship program. It will help too.
