About
Personal Statement
Geriatric medicine combines the complexity of aging physiology with psychosocial challenges to health and well-being. During Geriatrics Fellowship at Weill Cornell Medical College I witnessed the dedication, compassion and holistic care embraced by the Division of Geriatrics and Palliative Medicine. As a member of the faculty and care team, I hope to practice patient-centered, evidence-based medicine and to improve the health and quality of life of vulnerable individuals in our community.
