Innovation in Geriatric Medicine Program
“The UCLA Innovation in Geriatric Medicine Fund is a transformative investment in the future of geriatric care. By providing vital resources for our research, training, and clinical programs, we are not only advancing our knowledge but also ensuring a robust pipeline of future geriatricians. Ultimately, our goal is to drive groundbreaking discoveries that will significantly improve the lives of older adults and their loved ones.”
-Brandon Koretz, MD, MBA
The Innovation in Geriatric Medicine program was established as a resource for the division’s research, educational, and clinical initiatives that improve and understand resiliency. The goal of the program is to build a steady pipeline of future geriatricians and to help them thrive in their scientific pursuits, launch new clinical programs, and attend resiliency-focused training opportunities.
UCLA is advancing geriatric care by building the next generation of aging specialists, addressing the critical shortage of trained geriatricians. Through donor support, we drive scientific advancements for patients by funding early-stage research and innovative care models. These efforts help empower UCLA clinicians to deliver more personalized, effective treatment. Together, this work strengthens our longstanding excellence in geriatric care, ensuring older adults receive the dignity-centered, world-class support they deserve
