🌟 Pass on the Care: Become a Champion for Our Elders 🌟

Think about the patients who leave the deepest mark on your heart. For many of us in Internal Medicine and Family Medicine, it’s the lolas and lolos. They don't just bring us clinical cases; they bring lifetimes of wisdom, stories, and a profound need for specialized, compassionate care.

As our population ages, the need for dedicated, expert physicians who truly understand the complexities of aging has never been more urgent.

If you are ready to elevate your practice and build a career with deep purpose, the Quezon City General Hospital Department of Geriatric Medicine invites you to join us. We are proud to be the first LGU-run hospital in the Philippines to offer a 2-year accredited Geriatric Medicine Fellowship Training Program—and we are looking for two passionate physicians to join our family.
