Program Director & Clinic Preceptor

"I am compelled to practice geriatrics because of its intellectual challenges - solving the mysteries - and the warm, sometimes bittersweet relationships with incredible elders."

Director, UConn Center on Aging
Division Chief, Geriatric Medicine

"Geriatrics allows me to have the best of all worlds: to address the needs of the whole person; to work in a field with a strong knowledge base yet great potential for new discoveries; and to combine teaching, clinical care, and research."

Elisa Gil-Pires, MD
Hospice & Palliative Medicine Site Preceptor

"I first fell in love with geriatrics at the age of 15 when I volunteered at a nursing home as part of an Honor Society project. This generation has so much to teach us and are so genuine and real, I continue to learn from my patients every day."

Margaret Rathier, MD
Home Care & Acute Geriatrics Site Preceptor

Julie Robison, PhD
Research Mentor

"I truly enjoy teaching the geriatric fellows about research methods and basic statistics because I can see their confidence grow week by week in their own abilities to critically read the medical literature and develop, for most of them, their first self-directed research investigation."
