Through the O'Bleness Memorial Hospital Internship Program, interns gain experience working with the elderly, primarily during their family practice and internal medicine rotations. Elective rotations in geriatrics are available and they are encouraged to complete a one month rotation.

All residents complete a four-week block rotation in geriatrics in which they spend 3.5 days a week with geriatricians. The remainder of the week they cover their continuity clinics. Residents may follow selected geriatric patients and, become familiar with long term care practices as well as acute care visits.
