The geriatric emergency medicine fellowship is a one-year program through the Department of Emergency Medicine in conjunction with the Division of Geriatric Medicine. Royal Oak is accredited by the American College of Emergency Physicians as a level 2 geriatric emergency department. It is one of the largest emergency departments in the country with ~30% of patients being older adults.

Royal Oak is home to the Marvin and Betty Danto Family Comprehensive Geriatric Emergency Medicine Program which provides support for the fellowship, physician, and nursing staff geriatric education and a state of the art facility for our geriatric patients.

Corewell Health William Beaumont Univeristy Hospital in Royal Oak is one of the largest hospitals in the country with an emergency center that ranks in the top 20 in numbers of patients treated. The institution is home to The Weisberg Center for Acute Care of the Elderly, The Farber Family Geriatric Nursing Education Program, and an outpatient geriatrics clinic, demonstrating its commitment to providing excellence in treatment of elderly patients from emergency care, through inpatient treatment and discharge. Just under one third of all patients seen in the emergency department are older adults, with roughly 60% of admitted patients are older adults!

The geriatric emergency medicine fellowship trains physicians in the emerging field of geriatric emergency medicine. Its goal is to further develops clinical skills specific to the acute treatment of older adults and geriatric syndromes, provide exposure to differing models of care to optimize outcomes, and understand the many transitions of care that patients experience. Fellows are exposed to research relevant to the development of health care of the emergency geriatric population. In addition, we will produce competent educators and teachers of geriatric emergency medicine capable of training residents and of developing geriatric emergency medicine fellowships at other institutions. The geriatric emergency medicine fellowship is designed for board eligible or board-certified emergency medicine physicians only.

Fellows work with an interdisciplinary geriatric team to gain additional expertise in the biology of aging, preventative care of the elderly, interpretation of cognitive assessments, the recognition and management of geriatric syndromes, and palliative care. Upon graduation, the fellow will be prepared to clinically care for the aging population, further advance geriatric emergency medicine as a specialty, and lead the growing field.
