The University of Rochester Medical Center’s Highland Hospital has won a $1 million grant to boost geriatrics training for non-geriatricians.

The URMC hospital is one of 10 institutions nationally to get a Donald J. Reynolds Foundation geriatrics training award as part of the Las Vegas-based charitable foundation’s Aging and Quality of Life program. Twenty U.S. academic medical centers vied for the Reynolds Foundation grants.

Highland geriatricians plan to use the grant money to train hospitalists, orthopedists, emergency medicine specialists and neurologists to deal with the particular needs of elderly patients, Highland officials said.

Roughly 260 medical students, 188 residents, 14 hospitalists and 85 URMC subspecialist faculty members are projected to go through the program annually.
