Commitment to Inclusion and Diversity

The Geriatric Medicine Fellowship Program is committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace. We strongly encourage applicants from diverse backgrounds as we believe that our faculty and fellows should reflect the incredible diversity of the patients we care for.

The University of Washington Department of Medicine has more information about diversity in the department.

Fellows are invited to serve on the Department of Medicine Diversity Council and the Network of Underrepresented Residents and Fellows.

Interviews and correspondence

Geriatric Medicine Fellowship applicant interviews occur between September and October and are filled on a rolling basis. All interview correspondence, including interview invitation will be conducted through Interview Broker.

Applicants meet with members of our faculty and have an opportunity to interact with current fellows. We do our best to have applicants meet with faculty with which they share clinical, research, and/or education interests. If there is a particular faculty member you would like to meet, please let us know.

In our efforts to address equity, diversity, and inclusion through recruitment practices, we conduct ALL interviews virtually. We believe this reduces candidates’ stress and costs, makes interviews accessible and equitable, and reduces the environmental impact.

Interviews will be conducted through the Zoom platform on the following dates:
