She went on to complete her training with a residency in internal medicine and a fellowship in geriatric medicine at St. Vincent Hospital and Health Sciences in Indianapolis (Indiana University affiliates). She then returned to Kentucky where she is currently an associate clinical professor of geriatrics and palliative medicine at the University of Louisville and director of inpatient geriatrics at the Robley Rex Veterans Hospital. Her research interests include delirium, frailty, and age-friendly hospital/health-system redesign.
