U.S. gives Michigan State $850k for geriatric care
EAST LANSING (AP) -- Michigan State University says its College of Osteopathic Medicine has received an $800,000 federal grant to improve the training of doctors who care for the elderly.
The university recently said that the money from the U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration will go to create a statewide network of osteopathic geriatric fellowships for doctors to undergo specialized training after their residencies.
University faculty member Carol Monson says the goal is to create a multidisciplinary model of care for the elderly.
She says it's vital because of the aging of the population of Michigan and a shortage of doctors with geriatric medicine training.
