Interdisciplinary,
Collaborative Relationships
The Donald W. Reynolds Department of Geriatrics, a department within the College of Medicine, employs an
interdisciplinary team of healthcare professionals in all practice sites including primary care clinics, nursing
homes, and home health care. To this end, the Donald W. Reynolds Department of Geriatrics invites faculty from
the Colleges of Nursing, Pharmacy, and Health Related Professions to practice as a member of an interdisciplinary
team. Further, faculty are encouraged to provide learning experiences for students from their respective disciplines.
These faculty members also may enjoy a secondary appointment in the Department of Geriatrics pending approval by the
College of Medicine Promotion and Tenure Committee. These faculty members participate in medical student and
physician education.
