It takes a certain person to dedicate extra time, heart, training and effort into understanding the changing needs of our patients. We are deeply proud of our three Geriatric fellows this year- Drs. Alisha Garel, Sara Medina-Bielski and Vanessa Crerar for all their hard work, compassion, and dedication towards caring for older adults. Episode 3 of Aging Forward Podcast explores their background, early origins/reasons why they chose their career in Geriatrics and how fellowship training has helped them evolve in their professional and personal growth.

There are approximately Geriatricians 7000 nationally, and we need ~30,000 by 2030 to meet the needs of the aging population and help our society and communities age well. We welcome you to listen to this episode to learn from three amazing physicians who found their calling in this field, why they love caring for older adults, how they have been a part of their patients’ journeys, rewarding aspects of this field, challenges and values they’ve discovered through caring for the aging population and what excites them about a future in Geriatric medicine.

Plus- hear about what “Aging Forward” means to them, what they have done to encourage their own patients to Age well and how they are personally pursuing this journey themselves. Don’t miss this insightful conversation!

Congratulations to Dr. Garel, Dr. Medina-Bielski and Dr. Crerar on graduating fellowship, being such great role models in all you do, and moving on to bigger goals down the road!
