University of Florida
Institute on Aging Welcome
The mission of the Institute on Aging at the University of Florida is to promote the health, independence and quality of life of older adults through multidisciplinary research, education and health care. Over the past two decades, the Institute on Aging and its affiliated faculty members have developed robust infrastructure and multidisciplinary teams focused on the full spectrum of aging research. UF’s Institute on Aging and Division of Geriatric Medicine in the Department of Medicine are recruiting an outstanding physician-scientist leader with a dynamic vision for bridging aging research and geriatric care to achieve even greater impact in the decade ahead.
Future Goals
- Grow multidisciplinary aging research and clinical trials aligned with issues that matter the most to older adults
- Facilitate an integrated clinical and research environment that provides experiential learning opportunities for UF students and trainees pursuing careers in geriatric care and aging research
- Promote comprehensive and community-centered care for older adults that is grounded in respect and understanding and fosters compassion and effective communication with patients and families
