Why I Applied to be a Fellow
"I have devoted my career to improving healthcare for older adults through clinical care, education, and research. After 25 years, however, I came to the stark realization that there are fundamental limits to what can be accomplished through clinical care, research, and education alone. The creation of true, sustained system-wide changes in how healthcare is delivered to older patients requires fundamental transformation, which can only be achieved through policy initiatives. Thus, in 2016-2017, I embarked on the Health and Aging Policy Fellowship to understand how to influence and impact clinical care through health policy changes. I learned how policy is created and shaped, and forged a deep respect for my colleagues, influencers and policymakers through the program. The Fellowship truly changed my outlook and my life."
