Current Geriatric Medicine Fellows

 Dr. Jilani’s philosophy of care focuses on improving quality of care for geriatric patients. She strongly believes in elder patients’ autonomy and input in making health care decisions for themselves.

"I was inspired to do a Geriatrics Fellowship from my relationship with my own grandpa, known to me as Papa, who played a formative role in my life. Seeing his health challenges with aging has been an eye-opening experience for me. When I learned that there was a specialty dedicated to the care of older adults, I was immediately drawn to the field. A career interest of mine is helping older adults make the most of their later years even as they face more burdensome comorbidities and an ever increasingly complex health care system. I also have a desire to serve the veteran population as my Papa served as a United States Army chaplain for most of his life."
