The Geriatrics Center’s multi-disciplinary faculty of nearly 300 physicians and scientists from 14 U-M schools and institutes, including 29 departments in the Medical School, conduct $79 million in nationally-sponsored research each year. We’re ranked among the top programs in the country for both academic geriatrics programs and hospital care for older adults by U.S News and World Report.

The geriatric population is growing and the University of Michigan Geriatrics Center has responded by becoming a national leader in this evolving field.
