VA Bedford Recognized for Team-based Clinical Learning Environment for Interprofessional, Age-friendly Healthcare & Trainee Support

A recent article in VA News discusses the team-based learning model VA Bedford geriatric medicine uses to help train Boston Medical Center residents and fellows.

Head and shoulders of woman with shoulder-length red/blond hair smiling broadly Assistant Professor of Medicine Ryan Chippendale, MD, who also serves as the Geriatric Medicine Fellowship program director and Geriatric Oncology Fellowship Program co-director at BMC, was quoted.

“On the Geriatric Medicine rotation, fellows have the opportunity to learn from physicians, nurses, physical and occupational therapists, speech language pathologists and more to enhance their skillset in providing comprehensive care to complex older patients. VA Bedford’s commitment to geriatric excellence is unwavering and we have been fortunate to partner with them,” Chippendale said.
